Adalyn
How do you feel about the name Adalyn for a girl? I’m finding myself loving the way it sounds, “A-duh-lehn”. Do you prefer the spelling Adalynn?

I'm not a fan of Adalyn or Adalynn. I would prefer Adaline over both of those. But I like Adeline and Adelina the best.

Not much of a fan, particularly as I like Adeline is particularly lovely.

I actually like it. It's one of the few trendy modern names that I can really tolerate. I find it cute but not infantile. It may not age the best (can't really imagine a grandmother named this) but it's certainly not completely implausible.
The double n is fine but I prefer just the one. (;

It's ok, I've heard girls with this name pronounce it add er lyn, like Madalyn without the M, I like it with 1 n

Just to point out -- as a non-rhotic Australian you have just confused Americans and Canadians by saying you've heard girls pronounce the name "add er lyn". In the rhotic accent of most Americans and Canadians, what you mean is that you've heard them pronounce the name "add uh lyn". :)

It's cute! A cousin of mine is named Adalyn after an Ada and a Caitlyn. I think I like Adalyn and Adalynn about equally; Adalynn looks more complete, but Adalyn looks less "kre8iv".
