Love it!It's one of my favourite girls names, and a serious contender for future DD #3 (lol!) I love nn Addie to, even though when I've mentioned it quite a few people say they don't. My favourite nn for it is Della, but I love Addie too.Gorgeous name.

I love Adelaide, but I prefer Ada as a nn. Addie is cute but too reminiscent of the trendy/overused Maddie, Addison, etc.

Adore Adelaide. Addie not so much...she'd just get muddled up in the Maddies and Abbys. Plus, I've never liked the sound. Other possible nns for Adelaide:Ada
Adele

Deedee
Della

Ella

ElThough of course you don't have to listen to me, Addie's fine too.

I can't picture Adelaide on a child, but I'd be pleased to see it used nonetheless. I don't care for Addie though. I think it'd get lost with all the Abbys and Maddies you see these days.

I like it. For a while I thought it was to much like Lemonade. But I think it's better then Adeline, because Adeline reminds me of the way they addressed Maria in the sound of music. I am unsure how to spell it, but they called her "Froidline Maria" Plus I saw a woman with the name on the reality show, 'The Age of Love.' Where 20-somethings and 40-something try to win over the bachelor. I thought Adelaide was beautiful on a grown woman, stunning even. Nn's could be.....

Ada
Leida

This name's becoming popular all of the sudden. I like it, but wouldn't use it. I'm more of an Alice person.But I have to say, I don't like the middle name Bennett. For a girl at least.

I love Adelaide. My favorite nickname for it is Ada, followed by Adele, but Addie is cute as well. Except...I'm just afraid an Addie would get lost in a sea of Maddie's.
