Oops! Adele revealed that fans have been mispronouncing her first name for years — but the difference is surprisingly subtle.
“Love that! She said my name perfectly!” the Grammy winner, 34, said during a recent fan Q&A session to celebrate the release of her “I Drink Wine” music video. Adele then explained that her preferred pronunciation works better with her North London accent: instead of “uh-dell,” the singer says her name with more emphasis on the second syllable. “Uh-DALE,” she said.
While the “Hello” songstress doesn’t seem to mind fans mispronouncing her first name, she does prefer they not use her last name at all. “I could have never used my surname,” she said in a December 2021 video with NikkieTutorials. “Adele Adkins does not have the same ring as Adele.” After joking that her last name sounded “drab,” the musician added that “Adele” is more than just a stage name to her.
“Adele still feels like my name,” she explained. “My mum still calls me it. My friends call me it.”
Adele may be swapping her last name for a less “drab” one in the future, however. In August, the England native gushed that she is “obsessed” with boyfriend Rich Paul, telling Elle that she’s open to tying the knot with him in the future. “I’ve never been in love like this,” she said at the time, though she denied that they had already taken the next step in their relationship. “I’m not engaged. I just love high-end jewelry, boy! [And] I’m not married. … I’m just in love! I’m happy as I’ll ever be. I might as well be married.”
Adele continued: “I definitely want more kids. I’m a homemaker and I’m a matriarch, and a stable life helps me with my music.”
