Anyone remember the film My girl, main character named Vader (Maybe spelt different)
I really like the name and thinking star wars isn't as popular as it was my partner is unsure

It is spelt Vada - I know a Vada!

DS has a girl in his nursery class called Vada (pronounced like Darth) and Star Wars is 100% what my brain goes to each time I hear it.

I knew a Vida, beautiful name.

Heather37231 · 17/01/2024 20:15

What about Vida?

BarelyLiterate · 17/01/2024 20:14

Great idea. How about ‘Anakin’ as a middle name? What a lucky little girl Vader Anakin would be! 🙄

I have a 6YO in Y2 and she’s been invited to 2 Star Wars themed parties this term… at one they had someone dressed up as Darth Vader, at the other he was just in the party bags in squishy form. Of course it’s still a thing! No one will think of anything else when they hear it.

I love the name Vada because of My Girl and always wanted to use it but couldn't get past the Darth Vader reference. I prefer the spelling Veda, and will consider it as a middle name.

Darth Vader, sorry.

My DC who have never seen Star Wars no about Darth Vader. He's very much still 'out there' as a character.

I do love names with a D sound in them though and there aren't loads. How about:

Cariad
Ida
Matilda
Astrid
Madeline
Ada
Jada
Elodie

Hope she isn't born on 04/05...

TeabySea · 17/01/2024 20:09

To me, Vader ("vay-der") = Star wars / Vada ("vah- der") = polari for 'look'.

TinyYellow · 17/01/2024 20:07

I’ve never watched a Star Wars film in my life and I still jumped straight to thinking Darth Vader.

Shame because it would be pretty otherwise.

ShinyPikachu · 17/01/2024 20:04

It's Vada in My Girl.

Star Wars is still massively popular. Just go see the spin off shows on Disney+. Ok they aren't about Vader but the word is still hugely associated with the character.

PuttingDownRoots · 17/01/2024 20:02

Its Vada apparently. Means knowledgeable.
Vader means father.

gm2023 · 17/01/2024 20:00

Darth Vader…

Do you mean something else? Veda, perhaps? I think that’s a name
