Hello- please be kind I’ve seen some awful comments on similar posts !

myself and partner finally agree on our little girls name. Ada

however the next barrier is how we spell this. I don’t really like the Ada spelling as it is very very short. I liked the spelling Adah, I think it added a softness to it but does it look like I’m trying to spell ADHD 🤣But I know it could also be spelt Aida.

so….

Ada
Adah
Aida

kindness please 🙏🏼

Definitely not Adah, it looks like you'd pronounce it Adder, or like Ah-Dar (Ta-Da!)

Ada

Adah - ay-DAH
Aida - aEEda ?

If I read Ada or Aida I would read/say as Ay-da.

If I read Adah I would read/say as Ah Dar. So I would say Ada or Aida to avoid the risk of a lifetime of mispronunciation (unless its just me 🤣)

Ada. It’s a beautiful name. I think the h takes away from it and is unnecessary. Just Ada.

Only Ada

Aida could be Ida. Adah looks wrong.

Keep it simple, Ada.
