I'm really fond of it. It's historical, frilly, elegant and no-nonsense. I slightly prefer the spelling Adelinde, but Adalind looks lovely on paper. I pronounce it A-da-lind as well.

The only time I've ever encountered the name Adalind was on the TV show Grimm, where it belonged to the Hexenbiest (i.e. witch) character Adalind Schade. She started out as a bad guy / Royals loyalist but in the second half of the show did a full 180-turn and joined the good guys, but sometimes it was difficult to forget the truly evil crap she was a party to in the past. Anyway, that's a strong image to have.

Trying to separate Adalind from the character... it might be the only name I like with "lind" in it (not a fan of Rosalind, Linda, etc.). I, too, pronounce it with an initial short-A. It's similar to names like Adalyn / Adeline (with a short-I pronunciation), but looks like the "older" version--even if it's actually etymologically different.

---

I'd think Adalind's siblings would have equally Old World European names, like Millicent, Isabeau, Tancred, or Godfrey.

I really like it, it feels very.... like what a modern-day historical romance author would name a heroine in a story set in 1879.

---

I am instinctively saying "AH-da-lind" in my head, but "AY-da-lind" would make sense too. I guess I see it as being closer to Adeline than Ada.

I would pronounce it like A-duh-lind, because English 'quirky' pronunciation rules are odd.

Adalind has a "bossy" and unusual vibe, I like Adalind but I prefer Adelinde as a standalone name (but Adalind is an amazing combination name).
