Another middle name for Ada Joy? perhaps a Maori one?

I think we might be decided on Ada Joy for this bump, if it's a girl. With Joy being my mother's name.

But I just can't get past her having 2 really short names, so I'm wondering about adding another middle name, but can't decide what. I'm from New Zealand, so I wondered about a Maori name, perhaps Aroha (meaning love). So Ada Aroha Joy..

What do you think? What other suggestions can you make?

I'd go with Aroha Joy and ditch Ada. I think it's lovely.

I like Ada, I'd stick with your plan (Ada Ahora Joy).

I had a friend called Ngaire, which was "Nye-ree" which was lovely. That was from NZ

Ada Aroha Joy is nice.

Other suggestions...

Ada Anahera Joy (angel)
Ada Airini Joy (peace)
Ada Atarangi Joy (morning sky)
Ada Marama Joy (moon)
Ada Ngaire Joy (silver fern)
Ada Areta Joy (noble)

Really like Ada Aroha Joy. Very pretty.

We are also thinking of naming the baby Ada if it is a girl.

To me Ada is one of the less attractive 'granny names' I know someone who called her baby Ada Muriel though, the baby is beautiful.
I love your two other names.

@johendy what did you decide?

My daughter is Ada Ngaio (her Dad is a Kiwi). Never thought I would come across another one!!

We didn't go with Ada, but did go with 2 middle names, including a Maori one - Aroha Joy
