ah-DEL-a-ees. But I'm guessing.

No idea if this is even close to correct, but I would pronounce it AD-uh-lye.

I French I imagine it's [ah-d-LEH].

Adelais

ah deh LAH eess

has always been my understanding of the way it is pronounced. that or

---

ah-deh-lay

In German it would be AH-deh-lais, lais rhyming with the word 'lice'

---

It looks nice but I'm not a fan of the sound :/

I pronounce it AH-de-lays (the last syllable sounds like the word "lace"). I quite like it :)

I would pronounce it AD-del-LAY, but I don't know if that's right.

I'd say aa-deh-LAY-us. It's pretty cool.

I wondered the same thing when I saw it in the subject line now!
Considering it's German I assume the S is pronounced, while in French it would be silent. No idea which is the correct way, but I like it with an S.

Interesting.

This is new to me. Looking at it, I would guess it pronounced like Adelaide, without the "d" sound at the end, leaving the "s" silent. Am I close? Or maybe the "s" is pronounced?
