and 2 rarer spellings.
About 1 girl in 401 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 25,114 for Adelyne itself.
Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method
