It doesn't look finished and I wasn't sure of how you'd choose to pronounce it.Ad-uh-lay, though is a bit of a GP, due to the song Adalae.

I agree with others that it is like the masculine Adlai or an unfinished Adelaide. Worse, though, is that it sounds like "add a lay". :-/

I like the sound, but Adelaide is one of my favorite names, and I just automatically add the 'de' end in my head. :)

It reminds me too much of the boy's name Adlai.

where's the rest?That would be my first reaction. With a differnet spelling, it wouldn't look so muhc like Adelaide without the -de. Maybe Adelay? Still, I don't think it's a great name...

agreeShe'll go her whole life telling people her name is Adelai and then they'll think she said Adelaide and then she'll always have to correct them. Which is obnoxious, I know, as people seemed to think my name was Sharon or Shawna a lot!

I don't like it, sorry - it looks like an expanded form of the very-much-masculine Adlai.I prefer Adelaide or Adeline / Adelein etc.

For some reason, it does not seem finished to me. Personally, I like Adelaine (ad-a-line) better... or whatever spelling seems better.
