I really like Adèle. It's a beautiful-sounding and looking name. I think in the English-speaking world the accent is rather superfluous and would only create problems, but just aesthetically it makes this name look even more sophisticated. I think it's very feminine, international, ages well, and could be a really cool alternative to more popular names like Adeline and all its variations.
