HelpRe: Adeline
in reply to a message by Belphoebe
I like Adeline and Ada, but not Adeline 'Ada'. I wouldn't say the nickname is far fetched or anything but it feels a bit forced especially because Adeline begins with an Ad-sound and Ada with an Ay-sound. I like Adeline and Ada separately. Ada is very strong, strict and no-nonsense. Adeline is sweet and friendly and at the moment I prefer it over Ada.
The only issue with Adeline is its pronunciation. I have heard the ending pronounced as -line, -linn and -leen. My favorite is -leen, followed by -linn. I don't care much for the -line ending in this case.
I also really like Aveline.

This.
To me, they are two separate names in their own right. I'm usually pretty lax when it comes to nn's, but Adeline and Ada start with two different sounds, so it does feel forced and unecessary to me. I don't think they are too close for siblings even, they sound that different.
