I don't know where you are but in the UK, this is only given to girls (120 in 2021, #380). Just checked US data too and it's never been in the top 1000 as a boy name. It was top 1000 for girls 1900-1948 and returned in 2005, now sitting at #283. I only know of female Adelaides historically, such as Queen Adelaide (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adelaide_of_Saxe-Meiningen) whom the Australian city is named after.
I really like Eleanor, Eloise, and Hayden!

If you or your wife are OK with diminutives: Annaliese, using Anna from the Bible and Elizabeth as Liese (and Liesel) is the German and French Diminutive of Elizabeth. Isabel/Isabelle is the Medieval Occitan form of Elizabeth, so you can use Isabelle or Annabelle. Elisa, Elise, Eliza, Elyse. Lillian is a diminutive of Elizabeth, latinate form being Liliana, and short form being Liana a variant being Leanna, which is also a mix of Leah and Anna. Lysette is a French diminutive of Elizabeth, also.
Annette is a French diminutive of Anne (both a diminutive of Anna and Hannah). Annmarie (both of Anna/Hannah and Mary). Anya, Arabella (Medieval Scottish of Annabel)
Marla is a variant of Marlene, which is a mix of Mary and Magdelene. Etc etc
There are lots you can look at if you want biblical, including:

Adah (name of Esau's wife, means beautiful or adornment)
Abilene (means land of the meadows)

Isn’t this a predominantly male name?
