[Facts] Re: Adela--German pronunciation
in reply to a message by Ella
I am not really sure whether the e is long or short because I never heard this particular name spoken. But if it was meant to be short one would probably write the name Adella, and I do know the very similar name Adele where the e is not short.By the way, I would see the syllables as a - de - la, not a - del - a.Hope that helps :)

the e is not as short as in "dell". it's like "dell" pronounced with a longer e if you want :) ah-deh-lah
