Which spelling?

Adelyn or Adalyn

I've never heard this name, so when I read it, I pronounce "Adelyn" with a soft A and "Adalyn" with a hard A. Not sure which you prefer, so that's my reaction as someone who might read baby's name on the first day of class someday:)

Adelyn = ADD-a-lyn

Adalyn = AY-da-lyn

...pronunciation as I would read it.

I prefer Adalyn.

It comes from Adelaide. Some go with Ada for short.

Like Madalyn without the M?? I would say Adalyn then I guess....

I actually cocked my head to the side like a dog upon reading them, trying to wrap my brain around this one...

I... I thought it was spelled Adeline...

Adeline
Adelyn, if you really want to use a 'y.'
But I am one of "those people" that prefers traditional spellings.

The horror! Stick out tongue

I'm not voting as I got ripped to shreds for having an unfavorable opinion about this name and spelling just a couple of weeks ago. It seems it's okay not to like this variation this week though. Go figure.
