    I love names that cant br shortened. So recently named our new baba Luke.

    And already he is being nicknamed Lukey. Its driving me demented. He is only 6 weeks old (well 7 tomorrow).

    Heard of a little girl been named Sibéal this week, pronounced Shih-bale. Apparently it's Irish for Isabelle. I can't decide if I like it or not! I'm all for Irish names, but sometimes I think people go out if their way to pick the most obscure Irish names possible. I can just see her being called Sybil all her life!

    It's not that obscure, I've heard it a bunch of times. Pretty name IMO.

    Yeah, I went to school in the gaeltacht, there was more Sibéals than there was Amy's, and the like.

    Is it pronounced 'Ah-dah- lin'? Like Madeline without the M?
    I have never heard of it. I don't love it, to be honest.

    I know someone in America with an Adelynn... It's probably pronounced quite the same and I think it's really pretty.

    Really, I heard it & googled it & spelt it correctly first time. It's spelt exactly how it sounds :confused:

    Yeah it seems to come from America alright, for some reason I'm always really drawn to American names, dunno why. Like if we have a boy next his name is Blake, no doubt but I've never had too many girl names in reserve.

    But I think the name could be pronounced Adda or Ayda in the prefix so open to some ambiguity I would have said.

    Funny I would have pronounced it Ah-dah-line from looking at it. If I heard it, I'd expect it to be spelt Adeline so I can see chatastrophe's point. It's a pretty name, but I'd agree, open to mis-spelling.

    Well I'd have pronounced it Adda, but you're absolutely right, it could just as well have been Ayda.

    So realistically we have Adalyn, Addalyn, Aydalyn, Aydalynn, Adalynn, Aidalyn, Aildalin, Adalin, Adalin, Aidalinn, Éadalinn, Adalin, and about a million and ten variations.

    No it's pronounced Ah-Da-Lynn (like the surname).

    My own name has been mis spelt all my life & I survived so that wouldn't really bother me :p

    Mine has too and my daughter who's name is Addison gets Madison and Allison regularly. It's easily corrected.

    Fair enough if it wouldn't bother you. So long as you're aware of it in advance anyways. :)

    Personally I'd much prefer a name with one usual common spelling, to me it makes life much easier, everyone differs of course!

    I have a Joseph & it does have it advantages being spelt & pronounced the same everywhere but that said I wouldn't not use a name I liked because it might be spelt or pronounced wrong. My friend's name is Ian, fairly straightforward but the amount of times he gets Ean, Eain or Iain is amazing!!!:D

    And if it happens with a fairly normal straightforward name like Ian, you can imagine how it would happen constantly with a name like Adelynne!
