Middle name for Ada?

Help! My husband and I really can’t agree and baby will be here this week! We’re set on Ada but can’t decide on a middle name….
We both like grace, husband likes Robyn and I like Penelope… any other suggestions?

My great grandmother was Ada Frances ❤️

Heaps of names go with Ada but it depends on your surname.

Ada Juliet
Ada Frances
Ada Lucille
Ada Elisabeth
Ada Bridget
Ada Charlotte
Ada Celeste
Ada Genevieve
Ada Marguerite
Ada Rhiannon

I probably prefer something longer.

Not Ada Penelope. It sounds like Lady Penelope.

Grace/Rose/May are just overused as middle names, they’re everywhere. Penelope works well.

Hunkahunkaa · 30/07/2022 22:45

Ada rose

idiotmagnet · 30/07/2022 22:40

Jean

RoseMartha · 30/07/2022 22:40

Ada Rae
Ada May
Ada Joyce
Ada Louise

Fivebeanchilli · 30/07/2022 22:38

Don't go for May (in any of its spellings) , Rae, Jane or Rose - they are the ultimate filler middle names...

Fivebeanchilli · 30/07/2022 22:37

Great name.
I'd go for Ada Penelope Robyn but my children all have 2 middle names and we chose one each.
Other options:
Ada Sophie
Ada Felicity
Ada Cecily
Ada Florence
Ada Amelie

Gloschick · 30/07/2022 20:49

My first thought was Ada May
Also...
Ada Charlotte
Ada Florence

70billionthnamechange · 30/07/2022 20:46

Jane or Rae

MassiveSalad22 · 30/07/2022 20:40

We have an Ada Jane in the family 😁

If it’s just Ada (not a longer version), Ada Penelope flows nicely too though OP. I’d go Penelope as first name personally! 😍

Geneticsbunny · 30/07/2022 20:36

Lovelace? Go for full on celebration of the first female programmer. No one ever uses middle names anyway. I wish I had been more adventurous with the ones I chose

Itsvalentino · 30/07/2022 20:35

First thought was Ada Marie.

cptartapp · 30/07/2022 20:31

Ada Catherine

Galaxyinmypocket · 30/07/2022 20:31

My initial thought was Grace. However, I also think Elizabeth would be lovely.

Amdone123 · 30/07/2022 20:27

Ada Penelope.
Lovely.
