I say Ah-DEEl-e-ah.

I like it,it's pretty.

Love the nn Addie,it was my grandmother's name.

I would say uh-DEEL-yah, like Delia with an "uh" noise at the beginning. I like it--prefer Ardelia by far--but Della would be my nickname of choice.

uh-DELL-ee-uh

I think Addie's cute but too overused right now.
Dell is kind of masculine... Della would be the best nn for this name, I think.

I prounouce Ah-deal-ya. Because I knew an Adelia once, and that's how she prounouced it.

I say ah-DEEL-yah. Addie and Dell are both perfectly suitable. It's a nice name.

My first assumption would be that it rhymes with Amelia or sounds like Delia with an Ah- on the front of it. I much prefer the pron. BtN has listed, though. I like Addie and Dell as nn's actually. Lia and Della could also work. Quite pretty.

I'd probably pronounce it "a-DAYL-ya" or "a-DELL-ya" and nickname her Ellie. I like Addie, but not Dell.

I pronounce it uh-DEL-ee-a but if I say it fast I pronounce it like you. I really like this name though I prefer Delia. Addie and Dell would work as nns, but I would personally nn her Delia or Dee.

I would prn. it uh-deel-yah. I love Addie and Dell is nice, but makes me think of the computer. I love Della though.

I say it a-DEEL-ya, but a-DEL-ya is pretty, too. I like it, it's a nice name. With the nn Dell, all I can think of is the kind of computer, so I don't care for it at all. Addie is cute though. I also like Della and Delia as nns.
