I personally love this name. It's a cute nickname for Adelaide or Addylyn.

Adaline "Addie" Dickman Miller (1859 — 1936) was an American college professor, a founder of the town of Ruskin, Florida, and the co-founder and vice-president of the town's Ruskin College. She patented a design for a dish washer and she was president of two different temperance organizations in Oregon.

Addie Waites Hunton (1866 – 1943) was an African-American suffragist, race and gender activist, writer, political organizer, and educator. In 1889, Hunton became the first black woman to graduate from Spencerian College of Commerce. She worked for the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA), served as the national organizer for the National Association of Colored Women (NACW) from 1906 to 1910, and served in the U.S. Army during World War I. Hunton was a regular participant in the work of the Equal Suffrage League.
Addie is the name of the wife and mother put to rest in William Faulkner's "As I Lay Dying". The book is pretty depressing and literally opens with the mother watching her son build her own coffin.
Very very very American (which is a bad thing!) and just an ugly and boring name!It’s Not Pretty.

I really like the name Addie. It’s cute on its own, or as a nickname for Adelaide, Adelyn (my favorite), Addeline, Adalee or any similar name with the “Ad/Add” sound. If I use this name for my future daughter, I would probably have to give her a longer name when she grows up and if she doesn’t want to be called Addie anymore, she can go by the full name.

So my name is Addaliegh and I go by Addie, I love it. My aunt is the first ever person to call me that and it just stuck.
1. I don't like this name at all. 2. If you're going to call your kid Addie stick with Addy instead. 3. That is all I have to say. 4. Do what I say because it will look so much better as Addy.
I don't get why so many people despise this nickname. It's sooo cute for Adelaide (one of my favorite names), Adeline/Adelina, and Addison. I disagree with Janessa2542, I think this is wayyy prettier and cuter than Addy.
Adorable nickname for Adelie (my favorite of these), Adeline, Adelaide, Adele, Adela, Addison (my least favorite of these), Adelina, Adila, Adriana, Adrienne, etc. I really like it!
Diminutive of Adeline, Addison, and Adelina. Also a diminutive of Cassidy.

Addie has become a slang term for the drug Adderall.
"Madelynne" isn't a name... It's just a kre8tiv spelling of Madelyn. But I was actually going to say the same thing, I would use this as a nickname for Madelyn/Madeline/Madeleine. It's much prettier, unique, and more classic than the horrible "Maddie".
I am known to everyone by the name Addie, though my given name is Adrianne. I like the name Addie, it's short, sweet and not very common. I almost never meet another Addie.
Besides the obvious Adelaide, Addie can also be a pet form for the names Adele, Adela, Adelina, Adeline, Addison, Adina/Adena, and Adelaida, among other "Ad-" names.
This is my sister's nickname; her name is Sarah Addison, but we call her Addie, for my great-grandmother, Adele "Addie" Francis. Plus, I think "Addie" better fits her personality; "Sarah", while lovely, sounds too restrictive and formal for her.
