Ida has really grown on me recently. Though it does seem to be love it or loathe it name from reading old threads. I think it seems so sweet but then I have never known an Ida so have no negative associations.

I think it works nicely with our dc Eli & Aphra.

I like the eye da pronounciation.

So what do you think of Ida?

Very trendy as a Scandi name - my DDs know quite a few Idas at school - usually pronounced 'eee-da"

I like it, I think it's cute.

My greatgrandmother's name.

It's cute, I like it. It's an Astrid Lindgren name imo. So, in the same category as Lina, Alma, Ulla, Helga, Anna etc...

But it is a really nice name.

I would have pronounced this as 'ee-duh'. But my first language isn't English, so... yeah.

It's not for me, I'm afraid. Sounds like an old woman.
