WDYT of Alida? what about Adelia?

I love Alida! I prefer the spelling Alyda, though, thanks to a Yo La Tengo song, which is the first place I heard the name.

I'm not a big fan of Adelia, though. Or Delia, for that matter.

Alida is so old-fashioned here that I can't get myself to like it. I just picture an extremely old lady.

Adelia is ok, just not my style.

is that uh-leed-uh?
never heard of it- don't care for it
Adelia is nicer

are you in the Netherlands? both of those names came straight from my family tree (on females born in the 1700's and 1800's, respectively) and I just thought they were really pretty. haha.

I have a good friend named Alida, I think it's really pretty.

I love Delia, but Adelia sounds sort of strange and random to me.

Yess I am! =D

I have a great aunt named Lida and consequently it screams old lady to me. However, I adore Adelia...except I prefer Adalia (even though its a boy name and completely unrelated to Adelia lol)

I've never really heard Alida. Not really a fan. I like Adelia (and Cordelia) tho. I went to school with an Adelia.

I don't like either; Adelia is especially ugly, to me... =/

I don't mind Alida--I have a friend named Elita who pronounces her name just like it, so I'm used to hearing it.

I hate the name Delia, so Adelia is out. When I hear Delia/Adelia, all I can think of is the whacked out stepmother from Beetlejuice.
