People always ask me if I named Adelaide after Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls. No. I also get asked if I named her after Adelaide Adams in Calamity Jane. No. In fact, I'd never even seen either of those movies so I decided I needed to rent them. Calamity Jane I could take or leave. I didn't even finish it. Plus the real Adelaide in the movie is a huge jerk. On the other hand, I loved Guys and Dolls. The movie was made in 1955 and stars Marlon Brando (he's the only name I recognized). The story line was much better and much less annoying plus Adelaide is a bit naive in the movie but sweet.
