My name is Adèle and I love my name. It is simple with a classic sound. I have never been given a nickname. I had my name long before the singer, Adele and I dislike the reference to her.
Last year (2021) 5 baby girls in Poland were given the name Adele as a first name. 2 were given it as their middle name. As of January this year, there are 80 women in Poland with this first name.
This is my name. Pronounced AD-ELE. I get called Dellie, Del, Ad, Addie. I absolutely hated my name growing up as I could never get anything with my name on and so many people cannot pronounce it properly. A select few I tolerate calling me Dellie but most people shorten it to Del.
I love this name! I like the related names like Adelaide or Adeline a lot too, but I think Adele is better. The only downsides of this name for me are the nickname Addie, which I really don't like, and the association with Adele - the singer. - I really do like Adele, I think she's very talented and I have nothing against her whatsoever, but I am also not a crazy fan of hers either, and she's so popular, and I just wouldn't like people to think or constantly ask me if I named my daughter after her. So if I wanted to use this name, I'd probably use it as a middle, because it's great as a middle, or use it as a nickname for Adeline or Adelinda or Adella or something. It also makes me think of Adele Varens from Jane Eyre. I like how fresh and sweet it sounds and can suit a girl and woman of any age.
The standard and traditional Polish form of this name is Adela, however last year (2019), 2 girls were given the name Adele as a MIDDLE, and the name was #470 in the girls' middle names ranking.
In 2018, 58 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Adele who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 1, 396th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.

In 2012, she performed in both the Opening and Closing ceremonies of the London Olympics. She won two Brit Awards at the 2013 ceremony: Best British Female Artist, and British Album of the Year.
This is a beautiful name, but it will simply become too associated with the singer, like Cyndi or Britney in the 80s or 90s, so I recommend using it solely as a diminutive of Adelaide, so she doesn't get too much singer comments. It still is a nice name with a wonderful meaning,
I named my now 4 year old daughter Adele. I loved it because it's rare to hear of it and thought it a simple, beautiful name. I often get asked... After the singer? My withering look answers that question! :)
My name is Adele. Growing up I hated my name, oftentimes because people made fun of it, singing The Farmer in the Dell, or simply not pronouncing it correctly, or if I said my name they would say "A What"? I have grown to appreciate my name, but hope it doesn't become overused because of a singer!
Adele is already a legend in our time. Her albums have both sold record numbers of copies and yet she is not yet listed in the famous "namesakes" section. Someone will have to fix that. The lovely, talented Adele Adkins is what most people will think when they hear this name.
I know one person whose name is Adele, she's in her 50's. It has a Germanic feel to me and it's kind of fun to write in cursive (silly reason, I know). I probably wouldn't use it in real life, but it's certainly pleasant for the right person.
Adele is a very classy, beautiful name! :D It's annoying how it's really, really strongly associated with the singer... (-̩̩-̩̩͡_-̩̩-̩̩͡) (if I ever do use this name I don't like how some people may assume I'm naming my child after Adele when that wouldn't be my intention). ANYHOO I still ♥ the name nevertheless. ☺.
This is a very nice name, but unfortunately everyone will associate it with Adele. Not that she's a bad singer, but it seems that everyone here has a habit of hating celebrity associations with names.
Oh god, ADELE mania is spreading. After being out of the top 1000 names in the US for the last 30 years it is now #908. It will be like when Britney became very popular around the same time as Britney Spears was in her heyday.When I first heard of the singer I thought she had such a lovely name and I could see why she went only by her first name. Too bad this name is now synonymous with the gorgeous and talented British singer, it's so lovely and should be used more often.
Adele Marie Astaire (1896-1981) was Fred Astaire's sister. She was also a successful dancer and entertainer until she retired to marry Lord Charles Cavendish.
I knew a girl called Adele who pronounced it ah-DEL-ee. Her mother's Italian - don't know whether that makes a difference. I like this pretty and elegant name, especially with the three-syllable pronunciation.
