How are you pronouncing it?

How are you pronouncing Adelaide? Ive never heard it rhyme with Lemonade though it's similar but its also pretty close to Adelheid. http://www.forvo.com/word/ad%C3%A9la%C3%AFde/#fr
I know this is the French pronunciation but the only real life Adelaide Ive ever known was from the States and said it like "Adel IDE" (she was Cajun) so Ive never actually heard it said with "ade" at the end, is that common?

In English, I think the "aid" ending is typical.
I never knew that lol but it's honestly not a name Ive ever heard very often
