How are people pronouncing it, as "Add-a-line?" or Add-a-leen? Add-a-lynn? It looks like Add-a-line, with a long i sound. Is this right?

If anything it may be older. @saraallison – the name Adeline goes back to at least 1125, it’s not a knockoff of Madeleine. If anything it may be older.

NMS, but definitely perpetuating the Max trend. I have always loved Adeline, more specifically for the street name in Berkeley, Ca where pop-punk band Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong's independent record label, Adeline Records, began. I'm a little bummed by how popular it, Adelaide, and Adele are all about to become. I'm also guessing that these names will lead to names like Della and Delphine gaining favor.

I love the name Adeline, but unfortunately I think the nickname Addie will just blend in with all the bajillions of Maddies and (sorry!) Abbies. (Not you, you're a grown up!)

As far as Winslet, I think it is a beautiful surname name, even though those names aren't my type usually. It's interesting how certain names can seem so similar and yet make all the difference to the bearer of it. For example, Adelaide while beautiful denies the namesake of the spelling Adalaide for the couple above. As far as my own name, Alexandra, though it is very popular, it bugs me to no end when people add an i. In my senior yearbook, the clumsy editors put my name as Alexandria and it made me so depressed. There is no grand duchess Alexandria, and this spelling completely ignores my Russian namesake (though it isn't spelled Aleksandra) Alexandra. Still, It matters to me, and I bet many people can agree that names must be spelled right!
