MN suggestion for Adalyn?

JamieK1882

I know Adalyn isn't a favorite on here, but we keep coming back to it as our top girl name.

Looking for advice/opinions on a middle name. Our last name starts with "Mc" and is 4 syllables.

Looking for something more traditional since Adalyn (NN Addie) is not.

I like Elizabeth but DH likes Marie.

Thoughts?

Is there a family name you would think of using or variates of it? Perhaps a name after someone?  A cultural or ethnic name?

I guess if you are liking Elizabeth and Marie it is traditional names that you like?

So I guess the obvious ones would be: Charlotte, Penelope, May, Rose, Louise,Frances or something a little more oldfashioned - Mabel, Joan etc

And why in Gods name aren't you spelling it Adeline

To me Adaline is pronounced "Add-a-Line," whereas i feel Adalyn would be pronounced "Add-a-Lynn." Plus i really just prefer this spelling.

Because it is French is should actually be pronounce with a -leen on the end.

I think with a 3 syllable FN and a 4 syllable LN, a short MN would be a good idea. I would suggest Claire, Eve, Faith, Grace, Hope, Ivy, Jane, May, Reese

Adalyn Judith
Adalyn Lily

Either are fine.

Catherine? Ann.

I might do a shorter mn since Adalyn is 3 syllables and your ln is 4.  Adalyn Ruth, Adalyn Grace, Adalyn Claire, Adalyn Paige, Adalyn Joy

My daughter is Addilyn Kay. (I know the spelling, compromise with DH)

It was my mothers middle name and I used it to honor her, but I really like the one syllable mn with the 3 syllable first name as the PP said.
