Vada?

[Kirstle]

Pronounced Vey-da not Vah-da

As in My Girl.

Bit too Darth, or do you like?

Darth is Vader yes, but the pron is the same, hence my post.

I disagree that people will think its pronounced Vah-Da. I think there were only a couple posts of 26 that were unsure. The main point is that the pronounciation does sound like Darth Vader...

Hmm.. back to Lola then :P lol

I am I wanted Veda, bu DH vetoed it completely...he used the Darth association. To me, its My Girl, nver even thought of Darth Vadar.

I love it.

I think of 'My Girl'
I think it's quite pretty :)

It is a silly name.

My Girl. Was my brother's favourite film so I've seen it 97,445 times :)

I thought of 'Sultenfuss' too.

Darth didn't enter my head.

I can't decide whether I like it or not though

I really like it. Star Wars is over big time so by the time these children go to school no one may make the connection.

Vala is a bit softer as an alternative.

A1980 Star Wars over - what a thing to say. Star Wars will never be over
Saying that Darth was the first thing I thought of when I saw it.

LOL! Over as in they are not making any more. You rarely hear anything about it in the media, etc. Just over in the sense that the hype is over with all the movie releases so in a few years, perhaps children wont make the connection.

Of course you make the connection as did I. But we probably grew up with it. Return of the Jedi came out when i was at primary school, the new films were for the next generation of children to grow up with. The next generation wont have the hype of new movies, etc. That's all.

You can still buy Star wars lego and that bizare cartoon one came out a few years (that was a waste of £6 to see). But fair point about hype etc
I have a friend who named his son Obi after Obi-Wan Kenobi. He even has a baby grow with Mr Guinness on it.
If you are going to go Star Wars universe at least pick a name from the correct side for example Leia,Padmé or Sabé.
(can you tell I love star wars)
