Due with DD2 in a month. DD1 is Tabitha. We both love Ada but I have slight reservations because its so short - not sure why that's making me think twice. Middle name possibly Grace or Poppy...

I think Ada is fab, though I don't like your choice of middle names so much. Grace is OK and I do see that it's nice to have a more usual surname if you have an unusual first name. Ada Lovelace was an amazing woman.

I love Ada, also my nan's name! I like it as a nn for Adelaide as well. DH didn't the bugger

It was actually my nana's name :D

Ava is too popular for me, and I went to school with a bitch called Ava.

Sorry but it makes me think of the granny of my next door neighbours when I was a kid about million years ago. She wasn't someone you'd want your DD to be like! Ava, on the other hand....

Ada Grace sounds really nice. Pretty name and fairly unusual, congrats!
