Hi Adele. How do you pronounce your name? I am changing my first name and I want to change my middle name as well. My middle name is "Adelin" which was a way of naming me after my grandmother Adele, who I share a birthday with, but being Jewish my parents wouldn't name me after a living relative. She is now deceased so I would like to change my middle name to Adele to honor her. She pronounced it "eh-DELL" as the German female name. But I am transgender and I changed my first name to a male name so I wanted to change my middle name to a masculine form of "Adele" as well.
