Thoughts on Adalyn?

What would you suggest for a middle name?

NMS so I can't even come up with one but I think I have heard of an Adalyn Grace.

I absolutely love it!!! That is actually one of my top names....

 We were going to use Kay or Nikole (Kay after his mother or Nikole after his deceased sister).

You could also use ...

Marie

Faith

Denise

Joy

Rae / Ray

Hope

Hope some of these helps!

I think its awful, like you butchered the spelling of an M-less Madeleine. Have you considered Madeleine, Adeline or Adelaide?

I'm surprised at how often I see this name come up, both in terms of potential-name-for-baby and actual kids with the name...mostly because a few years back I had "Adelin"(pronounced the same way) pop into my head, thought it was pretty, and then rejected it for anything but fictional/game characters, because it was made up.  Now, it seems to be a fairly popular(if not common) name, at least on the Bump.

As far as middle names, I remember thinking Rose went well with it...

I love the name, but would spell is Adelyn.  Adelyn is a variant of Adelaide and is old German.  I don't think it's trendy at all.  What I think makes the same look a bit trendier is the spelling Adalyn.

I think you've phonetically lost your mind

Actually, I like Adeline, but I don't care for these spellings.

Here's a middle name helper....

This exactly. I have the name Adelyn on my list and we are torn between Adelyn Reese or Adelyn Rae.

It's nms but a pretty name. How about Adelyn? Adelyn Rose?

Adalyn sounds either like someone was trying to be creative with Addison or misspelled Madeline

With such a trendy FN, definitely should be paired with a more traditional MN

Adalyn Rose
Adalyn Faith
Adalyn May
Adalyn June
Adalyn Marie
Adalyn Grace
Adalyn Louise
Adalyn Elise
Adalyn Joy
Adalyn Kay
Adalyn Jean
Adalyn Eve
Adalyn Cate
Adalyn Hope
Adalyn Claire

That's not just a different spelling, it's a different name.  Adeline is French and has a much different feel and pronunciation than Adelyn.  And while you may not like her name, I'm not sure how you find it phonetically incorrect.

I absolutely love it!

To me it looks like Madalyn missing the M.

I love this name. My DH has been set on Madelyn for a very long time. Awhile back I tried to convince him to change it to Adalyn.. he wasn't as fond of it as I am. We were going to Adalyn Grace. 

HarperM

Love this name! But I have seen it popping up EVERYWHERE!!

I love Adalyn Rose, or any other middle name that is one-syllable .

Grace?

Mae?

Jo?

NMS at all. It just sounds so trendy to me.

If you're going to use it, I think it'd sound best with a one syllable mn like Faith, Joy, Jane, Mae.

It's the third letter...second A. I often see Adelyn, but Adalyn is the phonetic spelling. I think we're saying the same thing, just in different ways. Adeline is French with the EEN ending, however, INE is treated differently depending on where you are. Caroline (<- linky) is an excellent example...it has several different pronunciations. Also, look at Katherine, Josephine...all INE, but all different. Yes, Adelyn would get her the pronunciation she wants, and I do encourage her to look at changing that third letter from an A to an E, but I can also see this as a pronunciation of Adeline.

I love this name, it has been one of my top names for years, but now is becoming 'trendy'. However, its still up at the top of my list. I was never sure how to spell it (I originally thought Addilynn b/c I initially heard it, but didn't see it writtenfor years), but through time it looks like Adalyn or Adelyn is the common spelling. Anyways, if we use it we would use Adalyn Jane (my MIL mn) although DH still LOVES Madelyn.

We know an Adelynn Kate.  I think that's really cute.  Also like Adalyn Jane.
