I love Adelaide, but I think I would only use it as a middle name personally. It’s the name of a school in my district so it’s the first thing that pops into my head. I don’t think it will be dated because it’s not even that popular.
I think the style of name might become dated, if that makes any sense, but not the name itself. A name needs to be way more widely used than Adelaide is to become dated.
I like the name. It's not a favorite, but it's similar in style to a lot of names that are favorites.
I like the nickname Aidy, though I made a post about it a few years back and I think everyone who replied hated it.

To me Adelaide is regal and elegant. It's classic, but still usable and grows with the owner.

I’m always torn about Adelaide. I disliked it when I first heard it and tried to understand why someone would use it (lol). This led me to actually start liking it but I still find it strange.
Most of the Adelaides I’ve heard of are younger so I don’t think of an older person at first. So I personally don’t view it as a dated name, whether it is or isn’t. It still sounds fresh to me.

I love Adelaide. It's on our short list if we have kids. It's elegant and familiar, yet unexpected. It also comes with lots of great nicknames and has a positive meaning.
I don't think it's going to be dated soon because it's nowhere near popular enough.

I don't think it'll be dated anytime soon. It's a previously old-fashioned name that has only recently returned to the Top 1000 (in the U.S.) - it doesn't even chart anywhere else besides France and Italy!
No, Adelaide is just getting started.

I don't like it, it's a city here too, prefer Adeline
I don't like it, just because I don't like how it sounds. I hear "delayed" and "addle" and "laid."
I would like Adelaida, Ad-uh-LIE-duh. And I love Ada.
The only Addie name that I don't dislike, is Adelina.... because it doesn't have the addle sound.
Adelaide sounds antique to me, so more like a fad-antique name, like Penelope, Hazel, Mabel - not popular enough to become really dated.
But I do think the trend for Addie names is probably starting its decline.

I like it, but I can't help but hear it in a generic Australian accent. Not to say that there's anything wrong with an Australian accent, I just don't seem to be able to separate it from the place.
I can't see it becoming dated, but it isn't as popular here as it is in the USA.
