    I think Adele is a name in its own right; Adelaide is a form of the German name Adelheid although both names spring from the same Germanic origin. Pretty name.

    I think they are seperate names, but I don't see why Adele couldn't be a nickname for Adelaide. Personally thought I like the name Adele berrer than Adelaide.

    They are seperate names but if you like Adele can be a nickname for Adelaide.

    I think Addie is a cute nickname for the name Adelaide which is beautiful by the way!

    And i think Adele is a seperate name.

    Adele is it's own name that originated from the name Adelaide.

    You could use it as a nickname for it though and it would completely fine.

    Hope I helped!

    you can use that as a nn or just name your child Adele and save Adelaide for another daughter.
