I really like it :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2027325 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 12:18:26 +0000 Mrs.Someone 2027325@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think its pretty, but people are going to have trouble pronouncing it... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2027303 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 12:05:15 +0000 MamaCate 2027303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it and I think it wouldn't be that hard for pronunciation. I feel like a lot of A- and -lia names are fairly common (Amelia, Aurelia) and since the pronunciation pattern is the same, it should be pretty straight forward. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2027242 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:45:12 +0000 Reese 2027242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it. I also find it funny that people are coming up with such a variety of "for sure" nicknames. My mind went to the NN Lia so while she may get a NN it doesn't have to be something she doesn't want/like. There is a very common shortening for my name and I always mentioned I didn't like that NN when someone tries to use it and it wasn't used. Simple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2027232 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 11:40:58 +0000 sarac 2027232@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You'll always have to point out how to pronounce it, which would bug me. Also, you run a real risk of people shortening it to 'Dolly', which even as a nickname person, I hate. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2027011 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 09:21:57 +0000 blackbird 2027011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reminds me of vidalia, the onions </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2027003 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 09:10:02 +0000 Orchid 2027003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026930 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 07:59:06 +0000 travellingbee 2026930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it and pronounced it right. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026923 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 07:55:22 +0000 Mamaof2 2026923@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it but I do think that she might eventually be called Dahlia </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026882 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 06:09:56 +0000 MrsBananaGrabber 2026882@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You're right, a lot of people will hear it and think Dahlia.</p> <p>Also, you may not give her a nickname, but other people likely will (or she'll give herself one.) I would expect a lot of people to call her "Addie," whether she prefers it or not. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026865 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 02:05:09 +0000 HabesBabe 2026865@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm meh about it. I pronounced it "ah-duh-LEE-uh" in my head. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026850 Fri, 16 Jan 2015 00:56:05 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 2026850@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's really pretty, and before I clicked into this thread I was already pronouncing it in my head the way you described! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026820 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 23:50:50 +0000 sapphire 2026820@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think people will mispronounce it, but it's pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026657 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:51:30 +0000 tororojo 2026657@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I dig it. I'm a fan of uncommon but not made up names and that one is very pretty. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026656 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:51:13 +0000 Corduroy 2026656@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I like it. With the popularity of Adele and Adeline/Adalyn I was thinking it would be pronounced like those. I prefer the way you will pronounce it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026647 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:46:13 +0000 avivoca 2026647@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really like it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026615 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:30:33 +0000 Amelieisme 2026615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I agree. Pretty and unique :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026602 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:27:44 +0000 cheesetomywhine 2026602@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it is very pretty! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/adalia#post-2026586 Thu, 15 Jan 2015 21:15:52 +0000 Skadi 2026586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH really likes the name Adalia, pronounced ah-DAL-ee-uh. It is of German origin and means "noble." It has special significance as a family name to DH. He also pointed out that it's a genus of lady bugs, which I agree is kind of a cute connection. If we used it, we wouldn't use a nickname, because I'm just not a nn person.</p> <p>I'm concerned that people will confuse her name with Dahlia (like the flower). And it's an extremely unusual name, like something you'd see in Game of Thrones. What do you think? </p>
