Help[Opinions] Adamina
What do you think of Adamina, the rarely used feminine form of Adam? I used to think it was silly, but now when I say it to myself a few times, it's actually rather pretty. And isn't Addie as a nickname all the rage these days? So it comes with a ready made nickname!
What do you think of Adamina? Is it usable, or silly?

I don't think it's silly at all. It's sweet, but I slightly prefer the nn Minnie.

I think it's pretty. I think of it more as Ada+Mina than Adam+Ina, it makes it feel more feminine to me.
Definitely usable to me.

Something about Adamina lacks appeal while at the same time almost seeming interesting in a GP sort of way... may be good as a comic book character or something.

I love Adamina! I think it's sad that a Madison knock-off like Addison is so popular, while pretty Adamina is so ignored.

I try to shake the awkwardness of -ina slapped onto a masculine name, but it's so glaringly obvious to me that I just can't. Same goes for Thomasina, Jamesina, etc. However, other obvious feminizations such as Roberta, Bernadette, Victoria, etc. don't bother me at all. Perhaps because they get more use?

I say usable. Very very usable. I think Adamina, while obviously a feminine form of Adam, also feels very in line with frilly feminine names. I'm thinking ___ina's and ___ia's. And you are right that Addie is all the rage. You know what, I think I like Adamina.

It's stupid.
Seeing that it's a made-up English-only female form, it sounds dumb.
