  I like Adelyn, mostly because it's less likely to be mispronounced.

  I think lyn is the best way to get the right pronunciation, but you could always drop the -e for Adelin or Adalin of you don't like the y.  I would pronounce that as Adalyn

  Adeline ? just correct people.

  That is the only way I would spell it.
  

  And honestly, OP, most everyone will pronounce it "add-a-line' - which is the only way it should be pronounced IMO.

  Adeline IS pronounced "Add-a-line" most of the time.

  If you want to change the name, and pronounce it Add-a-lynn, then spell it one of your first two choices.

  Unless you don't mind constantly correcting people, which plenty of people do.

  Adelynn

  The two Adeline(s) I know are both properly pronounced add-a-line

  While I agree with the spelling/pronunciation recommendations, these spellings would make me think its some kind of medication.

  This is the same problem I wanted to avoid with the name we chose, Madelyn. I like the way Madeline looks, but I don't want people to mispronounce.

  So, that being said, I like the look of Adeline best (but agree that it will be mispronounced) so I vote for Adelyn.
