Emmeline = Emma - line

Adelaide = Ad - uh - laid

This. But I'd spell it Emmaline.

Eh-Mah-Leen

EM-uh-leen

Adelaide is harder for me to describe the pronunciation. AH-dell-aid is closest to how I say it, but the first syllabel is more a cross between the "ah" and "ehh" sounds.

EMM-uh-lyne
ADD-uh-layde

Emma-line

add-uh-laid

[0o-faerie.livejournal.com]

EM-muh-lyn & AD-uh-laid. I pronounce Adelaide exactly like the city.

[penguiny7.livejournal.com]

EM-ə-leen (for the prn. with a long i at the end, I'd spell it Emmaline)
AD-ə-layd

[daydream11.livejournal.com]

Emmeline is pronounced EM-muh-LEEN. I pronounce Adelaide as ADD-uh-LAYD.
