Yes, that's one of the hard decisions. I reason that Adeline has been "stuck" with the "line" pronunciation because of the fame of the song "Sweek Adeline", and that was recently reinforced by the 2015 movie "The Age of Adaline", where the "line" pronunciation was used. So I reasoned there probably aren't many Adelines or Adalines who use the "lynn" pronunciation.
