I chose my name

[peytonlee.livejournal.com]

About 12 weeks ago i was still questioning what i was going to name my baby girl. I tossed around a few different names, and then didn't think twice about most of them. BUT, I finally chose a name and it was OK'd by my baby's father.

Adelynn Marie nn Addy.

Adelynn because i love the nickname Addy, and i think Adelynn would make a strong name for her when she gets older and grows out of the nickname stage, and Marie because my I would like her to have her grandmother's middle name like i have my grandmother's middle name.

What do you guys think?

I like the sound of it, but I'm not really a fan of the spelling of Adelynn. What about Adeline? It's only slightly different, but much more sophisticated, and it isn't going to fit into the whole name+lynn trend of late.

to me when i see Adeline ... i think of Ad-e-LINE not Lynn. so to make it so people dont read her name wrong i chose to spell it Adelynn.

Adeline definitely lookes like Ad-e-LINE to me... like you said...
just like Madeline. To me that is a totally different name.

[xpaniic.livejournal.com]

They're different names to me, also.

[tryyingtoevolve.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know. That's what I was suggesting. Using Adeline with that pronunciation instead. Adelynn looks made-up and like the other name+lynn names that are so popular all of a sudden.

what about Adelin, then? I also don't like the -lynn suffix that's going around these days...

[sandtree.livejournal.com]

I prefer Adeline. Adelynn looks too made up.

[roseofjuly.livejournal.com]

IAWTC, and I don't like the name + Lynn trend either!

[peytonlee.livejournal.com]

i actually haven't heard any other Lynn trends. not in my area anyway. I guess i would probably feel the same way if so many people were doing it. But where i live the -aden/ade/adance trend is blowing up like crazy.

I like the sound of it, but the spelling not so much. It looks too busy. I think even dropping an n and making it Adelyn would look nicer.

I love the name Addy :)

[peytonlee.livejournal.com]

Me too. =]

[cherrysorbet.livejournal.com]

I like the sound of it but not the spelling... I would go for Adelyn. But nevertheless, I think it's pretty :)

[politicking.livejournal.com]

i agree that Adeline and Adelyn/Adelynn are different names lol. they are to me, too... not TOTALLY different, but definitely different pronunciations. Adeline = Ad-eh-line, Adelynn = Ad-eh-lynn. the Adelynn spelling leaves little room for error in pronunciation.

btw, i really like it! i like either Adelyn or Adelynn, and i love the nickname Addy.

I had my babyshower today, and my grandma miss heard me when i was telling everyone the name, and she's was like ... "You're naming her Adeline" and i corrected her right away, and i realized that i'm going to have to do that for so long. BUT I like it. =]

I love Addy, I'm not a big fan of Adelynn but you are right it's a good strong name.
And Adelynn Marie flows really well.

I love it, but I like the spelling Adeline even better =)!

[aquilinum.livejournal.com]

It seems a little too confined to these couple of years for me, but if you like it, hey. It will certainly be socially acceptable among her peers, many of whom will have names with similar or the same sounds, but put together differently.

[peytonlee.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but to me, I read Made-line, and then i realized that it's actually pronounced Madelyn....

Congrats on choosing a name!
