[Opinions] Sorry, but I think your suspicion is on target (m)
in reply to a message by Avis
If memory serves me correctly, this name entered the top 1000 in 2006 starting inthe 900's somewhere. In 2007 it was in the 700's. That's like a 200 spot jump in one year. Also, this board which seems to be ahead of the trends, has lots of comments on Adelaide and it seems to be on everyone's PNL. I think I sense the next Ava or Isabella - names that went from obscurity to overuse in just a few short years. Other names that I think are in danger (for lack of a better word; I guess "danger" is sort of dramatic):Clementine
Penelope (sure hope I'm wrong here, love this name)
Matilda (celebrity staple)

Agree re Adelaide but not the restI think C and P (check out P's charts) might make underground hipstername trends, but never mainstream. Matilda might, but Adelaide is a power target: it's got the trendy nickname Addy, the long A sound, is unfamiliar enough to be fresh but familiar enough to go along with the Classy Name Revival.I would definitely not mind seeing more Adelaides around.

I agree.Ada is the most often used nn for Adelaide, and that name is only one letter off from Ava. I think it will spike in popularity, and there will be a lot of little Adas running around the kindergarten come 2013.
