Any takers on the name Adelle [uh-DELL]?
It's supposedly German in origin, and means noble & kind.

I like it but I don't know if it'd suit a grown woman.

I think it would definitely suit a grown woman.

but I think it's pronounced ah-DELL. (emphasis on the second syllable rather than the first)

[darabelle.livejournal.com]

actually, more like uh-DELL

I like it quite a lot and plan to use it as a nickname for our impending daughter.

[mooie-ziel.livejournal.com]

hah I was always bad on hearing the accent & writing it out. Thanks, I'll change it now :)

I like Adele.

[trissyd.livejournal.com]

I have a friend named Adele... she's 21 now and I think it suits her just fine.

i love the nickname Addy but dont think it works as a full first name and have considered using Adele with just one L as the first name. I think its pretty and has a great meaning :)

[babyhoyt.livejournal.com]

I like it lots, but just Adele. I would use the nn Addy. I think Adele is a very grown-up sounding name.
poo on the hubby for not liking it.

I like it, think it would suit a grown woman just fine, and prefer it with 2 Ls.

I actually really like it even though it's different from some of my other names. And I think it would suit a grown woman better than a child (not that it's bad for a child)

[ky-whitney.livejournal.com]

I love the name.

[quiteoutofplace.livejournal.com]

I know a woman named Adelle, and it always seemed to fit her. It might be more fit for a child if it was shortened to Addie, or something of that nature.

My grandma. :)

[holly-megan.livejournal.com]

I know a grown woman named Adelle, I think it works just swell. Errr....I didn't mean for that to rhyme...

Love it.

[sotypical42483.livejournal.com]

I LOVE it. I think it's classy and beautiful and would definitely suit a female of any age.

[turabiannights.livejournal.com]

Adele/Adela/Adelle would work just fine on any age, I think. It's quite elegant.

It makes me think of the movie The Majestic. I like it, but I would never use it.

[amyames.livejournal.com]

i love it!

[kmommat.livejournal.com]

I think its gorgeous for a baby/toddler/kid/ and a grown woman. I also love the name Adally (Thats not the usually spelling but im not sure how to spell it)

[dosequisgirl.livejournal.com]

It reminds me of Kalifornia.

[ellycopter.livejournal.com]

i know an absolutely painful middle-aged woman named adele.

but it's not a bad name.

[boy-dodger.livejournal.com]

i really like it... i think that it works great for a grown women (but then my high school math teacher was named adelle)

[elemmennope.livejournal.com]

It's my great-aunt's name and she's the only one I've ever met. And she's been an adult since the day I was born, so I've only ever known the name on an adult. I honestly don't understand the issue with that at all - it doesn't sound remotely childish to me. It's a nice name, a really nice one. I love it.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I really like it, prefer the spelling Adele, but it would make a great name for any age

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

I like it a lot. I almost think it's better on a grown woman than a child. (although it suits both, I might give the child a nn like Addy when they were little).

[scintillated.livejournal.com]

I like the name...
