Do you know an Adeline?

BBer4 · January 2014

Yesterday DH and I moved Adeline Violet (nickname would be Ada, not Addy) to the top of our list for this little monkey. I searched the baby names board for it and it seemed like the general consensus for Adeline was that it's nice but super popular.

This made my brain explode because don't know a single Adeline. I'm a teacher and have never seen it in real life and it was ranked 239 in 2012.

How many Adeline's have you seen lately? Are the millions of Adeline's just hiding from me?

I don't know any.

I have a 4yo niece named Ada. Would have been Adeline, but the parents decided to simplify at the last minute. That's the only one Ive heard of- but my friends/family seem to be stuck producing flocks of boys... So no real chance to see popular girls names.

Love the name, haven't met one yet.

chillypenguin · January 2014

I know 2 Adelyn's. I'm not sure if you are planning on pronouncing it ending in the -Lynn sound or -Line sound. I think it's a really pretty name, and those 2 little girls live across the country from each other.

MCH77 · January 2014

I know one. She is in her early 30s.

I also work in schools and have never had a student with that name.

My cousins little girl is Adeline and DH cousins little girl is Adaley but they're the only ones I know. I think it's a really cute name!

alphalyrae · January 2014

We know 1, and she is about 5 years old.

Miles2Go · January 2014

I know an Adelae, but not an Adeline.

crystalmir91385 · January 2014

I know a 4 yr old and a 35ish yr old. It's definitely a nice name. I liked it, but decided against it because our family got an addison this year and I thought they were too similar.

andream15 · January 2014

My grandma! She is one of the coolest persons ever! I have considered this name as well for that reason!

sammy.k · January 2014

My cousins name is Aida. My great grandmothers name was Adleigh. I'm not 100% on spelling but my grandfathers middle name was Leigh so I'm assuming that's how it was spelled. I love Adeline.

Krisd6 · January 2014

I love that name! It is on my list for a girl

!

GracieLou Freebush · January 2014

I know of one. She's probably 4 years old now. I think it's pretty!

firebelle26 · January 2014

Love it! That's our baby girl's name, but spelled differently. I don't know anyone with that name.

Christinaruth74 · January 2014

That's our girl's name

but spelled Adelyn.

ksyknelvr73 · January 2014

I have a niece named Adeline. They call her Addie. She's 8 I think? She's the only one I know of personally.

jane8188 · January 2014

I know 2 little girls with that name. I think it might be more popular in different areas.

Turn4Cindy · January 2014

I'm a teacher as well and haven't come across the name personally. I love it though and I had it on my potential girl names, but having a boy! There is a character in the show Grimm and that's her name but they spell it Adalind.

CamrynnsMommy · January 2014

I know one, she is in her 60's.

Peaceb0ne · January 2014

I know one, she's about a year and a half old. Nickname Addy.

MrsT2008 · January 2014

none. I do know someone who just named their baby girl Adelaide.

If you're going to call her Ada, why not just use that as her full name? My friend's daughter is Ada and I love it!

Snowflake312 · January 2014

I don't know any, but I think it's a beautiful name!

deanna1313 · January 2014

Don't know anyone with the name Adeline( pretty name), but I know one adalyn (different pronunciation).

BBer4 · January 2014

I'm so happy that it's not super popular. I think that is officially our winner! @MrsT2008 I see us calling her Adeline a lot more than Ada and I like it much more. Just wanted to specify that when a nickname is used it wouldn't be Addie/Addy.

MrsT2008 · January 2014

I don't know what state you are in, but you can check out the social security lists by state to give you a better idea about the popularity in your specific area!

IBackBevo · January 2014

I know of one and she is about 17 months.

Also, my mother's name is a form of Adeline, but spelled younikeely.

Im in Canada and it was number 239 in 2012 here. With all of the popularity complaints on the baby names board I thought this was a new fad name. Thankfully, that doesn't look like the case.

pandadair · January 2014

I don't know of any and I love the name. Doooooooooooo it.

SweetTea420 · January 2014

I have never heard of this name. I like it!

paleblueeyes · January 2014

I know an Adelaide spelled "Adelai"

Allibob · January 2014

I know a 3 year old Adeline. I like the name.

Tnpeach · January 2014

Old manager from work named his DD Adaline in October. My DD's NN is Ada (for Amanda, but don't ask me why. I don't remember).

whitehousem · January 2014

DD is Adalyn (her NN is Addy). I don't know any Adelines personally or other Adalyns but once in a while I hear those names. I did just get an email about names from some baby site that said Adelynn was a trendy name, which I thought was funny bc I don't know any others besides my daughter.

My great aunt is Adeline (Add-a-line) and she is 89 years old. I also know 3 under 5. I used to think I would use this name for a girl but I don't like that it's a rising trend.

ETA: My aunts nicknames were Dally, Addy, Dell, and Della . My great grandpa used to have to yell at her to not Dilly Dally and then realized it was part of her name so it stuck. Her siblings, friends, or teachers called her Addy, Dell, or Della.
