ella and adele?

momtogavin · March 2011

I've been thinking about the name Adele for baby #4 for a month or so, but it just hit me that it may be too similar to Ella, which is our daughter's (and my grandmother's) name. What do you think? Are Adele and Ella too similar? Brothers are Henry and Gavin. And if you think they're too similar, any suggestions for alternatives? TIA!

Definitely too close. Love Adele though. Maybe for her MN!

They are a bit similar, although I love the name Adele.

I like pp's suggestion of Adelaide. Maybe Ada (pronounced Aid-ah)?

I don't think they are too similar. They sound complimentary.

I don't think they sound similar. I like the name.

I like Adelaide.

What I did when I was picking names (both FN/MN and when picking this baby's name) was to holler them out the back door and see how it sounded. LOL. I know it sounds silly but it really helped. So how does it sound if you are trying to get "Ella and Adele's" attention?
