HelpRe: What nickname would you use for Adelaide?
in reply to a message by Joan-Ay
Definitely Della. I know it rhymes with the way-over-used Ella and Bella, but I think the 'd' brings it down a bit, gives it a sense of seriousness. I actually liked Della as a separate name before I liked Adelaide, but I think it's great as a nn for Adelaide.
ETA: I'm surprised no-one's mentioned Heidi. Not that I like it (I knew a particularly un-nice person with this name and she ruined the name for me), but it's one of the more traditional nns for Adelaide/Adelheid. Maybe a lot of you think that Heidi doesn't work for Adelaide because the right letters aren't there? (I'm just interested)
