I've been seeing a lot of people post the name Adeline.

A. How is it pronounced. Ah duh line

B. I've never heard of this name ever. What part of the country are you in that you've met an Adeline

Thanks!

My favorite pronunciation is Adduhlyn or Adduhleen.

I say Ad-uh-lyn. I've never met one, however I have met an Adelaide and an Addison.

In all the versions I've ever hear of the song "Sweet Adeline," it rhymes with paddle-line.

I'd pronounce it Ah duh LINE. I don't think I've met any. I prefer Adelaide.

add-uh-leen

I've never met one.  I do know a few Adelaides, though.

I'd pronounce it add-uh-leen but I'm not sure if it's correct.

I prefer Adelaide.

Definitely add-a-line.

I hate it when people pronounce it add-a-lynn.  Probably because I am almost as sick of -lyn names as I am of -aidan names.

I'm in IL I have a 3yo in my class named Addelynn. Know a new baby named Adelyn and have a FB friend who named their baby Adelynn... Auto correct tells me it's spelled Adeline but seems like the lynn trend is hitting here. So we pronounce them add a lynn

I only "know" one, who pronounces it Ada-lynn. and I'm in California.  The only other times I've seen it are on my BMB or other boards, so I can't be sure of the pronunciation.

Personally, I'm wont to pronounce it "Ada-line" as in "Caro-line"

I belong to Sweet Adelines International, which is a worldwide organization of female barbershop singers with tens of thousands of members.  So to me, it's always add-a-line.

This, every word of it.

It's an old fashioned, classic name and the correct pron. is ADD a line. My BFF is an Adeline and it drives her crazy when people pronounce it the other ways that have been listed. It's not a regional thing, but since you asked she lives in the PNW.
