What about Adeline with Eli?

jbrooke

My son's name is Eli - we like the name Madilyn, but then I thought about Adeline and wondered if it sounds better with Eli (vowel names). Plus, I kinda liked how "Eli" is in the name Adeline.

Also, for people who have names like Madeline, Adeline, Caroline, etc....do you find people aren't sure if it's "LINE" or "LYNN" at the end? I am tempted to spell Madilyn with a "yn" instead of Madeline because I hate correcting people. What is the most common pronunciation for these type of names? I am wanting the LYNN ending and so I start to add the "Y' in there - but for the record, I hate trendy spellings. Like, I have a friend who spelled her kid's name "Londyn" and another "Jasmyn" and I just don't get it, lol.

Also very very popular but I much prefer it to Madilyn or Ella with Eli.

Thanks! I also replied to you in my last post, but wasn't sure if people were re-opening after replying I apparently must not be bothered by names being common. Because I keep picking them, lol. I'm a "Brooke" and my sister is an "Emily". I'm pretty sure they're both common too (I know Emily is!) and I never noticed it growing up. Thanks for the heads up though - I had no idea, especially about the name combo.

The daughter we have cooking right now will be Ella, and my other fave choice was Adeline. If we have another girl, I think that will definitely be her name.

So, since Eli has the same sounds as Ella, I think that Eli and Adeline sound very nice together.

I pronounced Madeline, Mad-eh-LINE and Madilyn, Mad-eh-LYNN

Caroline is Cah-ro-LINE, Carolyn is Cah-ro-LYNN.

I pronounce all those names with the -line ending, not lyn. I do really like Adeline.

DD is Adelyn (-lynn) becuase I didn't want the -line pronounciation. if you want people to say it one way or the other you need to spell it that way.

I think if you use the -line ending for any name people will be more likely to pronounce it LINE, not LYNN.  We spelled our daughters name Madeleine (pronounced LYNN) and haven't had any issues with pronunciation yet, but she's only 6w old.

DD is Adelyn because I was afraid everyone would say LINE with the alternate spelling. So far nobody has ever gotten her name wrong- at Dr'soffices etc. they always pronounce it correctly when calling her name based on the spelling.

The spelling of Adeline also reminded me too much of Adrenaline.
