Should this be pronounced a-DEEL-ya like Amelia? Or ah-DEL-ee-ah like Adele Lia?
adadadad Says:
i love all of these names that start with ad but the nicknames would probably be addie or addy and that's my name so...

Ashton Adelia is what we will be calling our little girl. Ashie for short! So pretty!

So sweet
EasterBunny Says:
I would pronounce it the same. Possibly separating the 'ia' a bit more, ah-DEEL-ee-ah, but I think that's just my accent.
cyoung325 Says:
I really like this name, but I'm not sure what the correct pronunciation is. I say ah-DEEL-ya but when I look it up I'm finding other more strained pronunciations. Why doesn't nameberry do pronunciations for all names instead of just a select few?
Adelia Says:
My name is Adelia too. I get so many compliments on it as well. I usually go by Addie, but have recently started using Adelia again. I'm named after my great grandmother, who apparently went by "Delia".

catcher5 Says:
We named our daughter Adelia, after her great-great grandmother. We call her Del when we want to shorten it. We get compliments on it ALL the time, but people usually have to ask how to spell it. Although we've met Adele's and Della's we've never encountered another Adelia, and I am a-okay with that.

I think it is like Celia, so it can be pronounced Ah-deel-ya or Ah-deel-ee-ah.
