Adele is really contrived to me, I don't say it "uh-DELL-ade." I can't imagine ever calling an
Adelaide "
Adelle." I used to think I'd call one
Della but that didn't make sense either. Whereas
Addy is spunky, simple, cute, easy, and non-permanent. I'd call her
Adelaide most of the time but probably
Addy a lot.
