Lovely. My friend's got a gorgeous one!

punkpuffin · 28/12/2017 22:18

I hate it sorry.

Imstickingwiththisone · 28/12/2017 22:15

I thought it was pronounced 'Ay-da'. Have never heard it pronounced differently?

FoggieFishieCarpeDiem · 28/12/2017 22:14

Love it.

Prefer it to Adeline, Adelaide and Ava, btw.

DramaAlpaca · 28/12/2017 22:13

I'm going against the general trend on the thread here, but I find it dowdy & frumpy. I normally like short, neat names but I'm not a fan of that one.

I much prefer Ava.

Yep my little one is an Ada but we went with the biblical spelling of Adah.

Sorry but I'm not keen. I dont like all
the old granny names like Ivy, Mabel and Ada.

I used to love Ava but there are so many Avas around now.

I should add I love is because of Ada Lovelace. I like kick ass women and DH works in IT so seemed appropriate

Mrsknackered · 28/12/2017 22:09

Really love it

FairfaxAikman · 28/12/2017 22:09

I love it. Was tip of my girls list but DH hates it so we are going with something else (providing it's a girl)

Lentilbaby · 28/12/2017 22:04

Love it

Orangeseed · 28/12/2017 21:47

I really like it

XmasTreeOhXmasTree · 28/12/2017 21:38

I quite like it but I think there would be a lifetime of mispronunciation. 'Aye da' vs 'A da'.

My MiL was an Ada but known as Mary. I think Ada is far cooler. My boss is also an Ada, she's in her 20s.

Joeybee · 28/12/2017 21:28

Lovely name but it puts me off that there's no nickname for it. I prefer Ava.

PlumFairy2014 · 28/12/2017 21:24

I love it. My sister is an Ada and she's lovely. Grin

CisCucumber · 28/12/2017 21:22

Would be a fab name were it not for Ada Wells
That would put me off

lifechangesforeverinjuly · 28/12/2017 21:21

I also love Ada.. but it's been met with scorn every time I've mentioned it so I've learned to keep shut now!

Beautiful name!

pickledsausage · 28/12/2017 20:07

Love this, it’s on my shortlist. Just need to convince DH. 40+2 today so not long left (I hope!!)

AdaColeman · 28/12/2017 20:03

Fabulous name!
