“I have never ever known anyone with the name ‘Adele’ being called ‘Uh-dale’ it’s always been ‘A-del,” one person wrote, after many online users were left surprised about the right way to say the singer’s name.
Adele it’s an italian name, forget british pronunciation,” a different person commented, while someone else wrote, “I’m Literally Flabbergasted.”
The online conversation started going viral, as fans of the musician were not expecting to hear a different pronunciation of her name, with even some negative comments. “I’m related to someone called Adele and we pronounce her name Ah-del. Don’t be a Karen, Adele,” an online user wrote, while someone else added, “Her mom spelled her name wrong then.”
This is not the first time Adele talks about her name, previously revealing that she didn’t like the way her last name sounded. “Adele Adkins does not have the same ring as Adele,” she said.
