Oh, the song "Sweet Adeline" is why I love the name so much. The connection to your grandmother is warming my heart. I'd love to see you use it one day.

Willa Adeline is a lovely combinaiton. While I love the name Eve, it doesn't combine the best with Adeline to my ears. I don't think of Kathryn Elizabeth as boring at all. But if you are looking for something different, how about:

---

Eliza Adeline
Elspeth Adeline (nn Elsie?)
Elsa Kathryn
Ella Kathryn (Ella is from Elizabeth, plus it would honor Ms. FitzGerald, if your G-ma was into her music)
Elena Kathryn
Kateri Adeline
Sophie Adeline (Sophie Tucker fans?)
Billie Adeline (Ms. Holiday fans?)
Melody Adeline
Genevieve * Adeline (nn Evie?)
Mary Adeline (nn Mae?)
Dulcie Adeline (Dulcie = "sweet")

---

Well, that was fun, thanks. Let me know if you like any of these.

* Genevieve is another barbershop quartet favorite. If you ever see the British comedy/movie from the 1950's called "Genevieve" you'll hear the song in the middle of the film. (It's about vintage cars and the amateur collectors that get all wrapped up in them. One of the characters has named his car Genevieve.)
