[Opinions] Adela?
What do you think? Would you use it as first name of a middle name? Would Addy work for a nn? If she had a sister what her name be? thanks

I really like Adela, and I'd use it as a first name or a middle name. Addy would work but it's such a waste of Adela IMO.

Adela is lovely in either slot! Caroline, Francesca, Isabel, Emily, Flora are some sisters that come to mind. Henry, Theodore, Christopher, Jacob, Micheal for brothers.

I really like it, it's on my list. I prefer it over Adelaide (which only reminds me of the city).
I personally wouldn't use it as a first name because there are other names that I like better, but it works either way. I would love to see it used as a first name!
I detest Addy as a nn, it sounds so coarse and tacky (I also can't stand Maddy!). I would rather Del or Dela, or maybe even Ella as the nn.
Her sister would be Sophie / Sophia.

I like Adela. If I used it, it would be in the mn spot. I think I prefer Adeline or Adelaide as a fn.As for sisters, how about Camilla or Beatrice?

It's nice but I prefer Adele, Adelaide, and Ada, or even just Della. And Addy is fine, but downplays the beauty of Adela, I think. Dela or Della would be a nicer nn, or Ada, imo.

What do you think?
I like it very much.
Would you use it as first name of a middle name?
It would depend on the name it was to be paired with, but it would be lovely in either spot.
Would Addy work for a nn?
Yes, it would.
If she had a sister what her name be?
Ivy? Camille? Josephine? Its hard to say with only one name to go on. :)
