Hmm. I really like this name, but I'm not sure if I'm pronouncing it 'correctly'. ;)

I'm saying ADD-uh-lee.

That's how I would say it, though I'd spell it Adelee

I actually prefer it spelled Adelie.. ;)

It's elegant and sweet! Though I guess if you spell it like this there's bound to be someone who calls her Ah-Dheli.. :/

I'd pronounce it the way you do too but I have no idea if that's correct or not. I like it though ;)

I've never seen it before, but I would pronounce it like you.

I actually know a girl who spells it Adelee and pronounces it ADD-uh-lee so I guess that's why I prefer it...you get used to what you know...

But I do kind of like how Adelie looks. Though Yas is right--she'd probably get uh-DELL-ee as a pronunciation half of the time.

Adeleigh is another spelling that might work.
