So we are planning to have our next child and thinking of names. My sons name is Ezra Dean. I really like Adelaide but I'm not sure if I could actually go for it. What do you guys think of it?
Yeah I absolutely hate Addie as a nick name! I'm actually pretty against nicknames but if it's necessary I will use one. guess that's another question I could ask, what nicknames other than Addie could I use for this? @wassuphoes
@bartonolivia i love Adelaide and i hate nicknames. My DD is Kaitlyn and people try to call her Kate i correct them every time. If i wanted her called Kate i would have named her that.
My friends baby's name is addilyn and my nieces name is emmaline (which I feel like is similar) so that's not an option for me. /: I like the nickname Elle though. So if we start that from the beginning then we shouldn't have too much of an issue. @mrstrax
My friends daughters name is Adelaide and we all call her Deedee or deedles lol not sure why ? Maybe because she has two D's in her name ? anyways it fits her
I think Adelaide is ok. Not my favorite, but not horrible. I think Addie is going to happen, whether you plan it or not though, and I am so over Addies (and Ellies). I think you can find much better.
Yes! I think its adorable. There may be other nicknames you could come up with to gear it away from Addie if you really want to avoid i. You could probably suggest that others who want to use a nick name calll her something like Laidey (Lady), or even Dede.
Re: Adelaide?
I really like Leia! Also Lilah or Leila.
