If my babe turns out to be a girl, she'll be named Adelaide.
Adeline is the French version of the name. :]

I think it's a separate name, but it's kind of... bland? wishy washy? without character? I don't know how to describe it.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

it depends on if you pronounce it Ah-de-LINE or Ah-de-leen.

[zorianna.livejournal.com]

I guess I see them as totally separate because I pronounce them differently. I pronounce Madeline Mah-dah-lynn but Adeline as Ah-dah-leen. I guess that has has a lot to do with how you see them.

all this talk about pronunciation has got me confused... I guess I always thought of it as pronounced "Add A Line" but now that I think about it people pronounce madeline as both Mad A Line and Mad A Lynn... so Adeline could really be pronounce Add A Lynn.. which makes me like it better. Ive always liked it with the nickname Addy.

I HATE Adeline. I used to consider it a separate name, but now I'm afraid people use it just to be different from Madeline. I also hate Addison. Gaaaaaag. Addie is a hideous nickname.

I'd say A-da-line but Mad-a-lin. I know someone called Adaline (it was supposed to be Adeline but her dad mis-spelled the name at the birth registry place!).

I think they're two separate names, actually. Adeline is a French elaboration of Adèle. The French version of Adelaide is actually just Adélaïde.

I know it's a different name with it's own origin. But that doesn't mean it still sounds like Madeline with no M.

I didn't answer the poll because I think both are true.

[hitzpink.livejournal.com]

I agree. I guess technically Adeline is a seperate name, but it just makes me think of someone who liked Madeline but tried to be different by taking off the M. And I also agree about Addison! Adeline and Addison are in the same awful category, imo.
