It's nice. I've also heard it's quite popular at the mo (if that makes a difference to you).

@julfin, thank you. It does make a difference to me, but thankfully it's rather uncommon where I am.

It was the name of one of my grandmothers, born around 1890. On that basis alone, due for a comeback.

I got the idea from Peaky Blinders!

Lovely. It's really underused compared to Ava etc

I love Alma too

I like it.

I also like Ida (pronounced Eeda).

I like it, it's a nice alternative to Ada. Also like Adah which is a Biblical name.

I thought Ida was pronounced Eye-da

I like Ada

Better than Ava

How would you spell the name that's pronounced eye-da?

mrsschu · 06/05/2016 00:26

Hmmm it's ok, don't love it. Know a couple of them under 1.

Littleround - I was sure that Ida was pronounced 'eye-da' too! At least in the UK, anyway.

Love it.

You can pronounce Ida either way but I don't think "eye-da" is very elegant!

Our chosen girl's name (Adelaide for long). Loosely after Ada Lovelace!!

I like it. I know of two who would be pre-school sort of age. Not from the same areas.

I'm sorry, but "bleedin' Ada" is a term of disbelief where (and when) I come from.
