How Adelaide sounds
A three-syllable name, Adelaide often sounds a little more formal and lends itself to a short nickname. The last sound of Adelaide is a quick stop, so the name closes with a definite click. Adelaide has the deliberate, even rhythm that the sound-element scheme associates with earth. Recent U.S. birth records show Adelaide rising, so it sounds current without being overused. U.S. birth records list Adelaide overwhelmingly for girls.
The Saju view
Counted by its first sound, Adelaide is an earth name, since that sound is made with an open throat and a soft breath. Adelaide is a fire name in the sound-element table, which is why it ranks near the top for charts that lack fire. Because fire feeds earth in the cycle of generation, Adelaide can also help a chart that is short on earth, though less directly. A chart that already holds plenty of fire is better served by another name, since Adelaide would add to it.

The astrology view
To the ear Adelaide sounds earth, the element of Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. Those signs hear a familiar voice in it, and Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces find it a friendly partner. Adelaide is a less natural fit for fire and air signs, whose elements differ from its earth sound.
