We’re naming our baby girl Ada but I just wanted to check how people would generally pronounce it as I have read some variations online. Also any middle name suggestions are very welcome! Considering the following but open to any! She will have a double barrel surname with two and one syllables:

Ada Mabel
Ada Celeste
Ada Florence
Ada Violet

Aid-a
Love it. I least like Mabel as a middle name as it starts to take Ada down an Edna route for me. Love Violet and Celeste.

I say Ay-da - so say the A like the letter name not the sound.

I have to pick Mabel because I love it

Only ever heard ‘aid-a’

I’ve only ever heard the pronunciation ay-da in the U.K.
