I really like Natalie, but that spelling is ugly. I think I heard somewhere that in the first half of the 20 century the ye ending was in fashion, so you had stuff like Sadye and Bettye and Rubye.
I don't like Adeline, and what's more I never know how it's supposed to be pronounced. I grew up saying (when I ever had to say it at all) Add-a-line. But now Add-a-Lyn seems to be the way to go. If this Adeline is the Add-a-lynn pronunciation, then it's going to be easily misheard as Natalie.
