What do you think of Ada?

[crazybutterflylady]

Due with DD2 in a month. DD1 is Tabitha. We both love Ada but I have slight reservations because its so short - not sure why that's making me think twice. Middle name possibly Grace or Poppy...

I think Ada is lovely!

Ada Grace sounds really nice. Pretty name and fairly unusual, congrats!

Sorry but it makes me think of the granny of my next door neighbours when I was a kid about million years ago. She wasn't someone you'd want your DD to be like! Ava, on the other hand....

It was actually my nana's name :D

Ava is too popular for me, and I went to school with a bitch called Ava.

I think Ada is a beautiful name.

I love Ada, also my nan's name! I like it as a nn for Adelaide as well. DH didn't the bugger

I think Ada is fab, though I don't like your choice of middle names so much. Grace is OK and I do see that it's nice to have a more usual surname if you have an unusual first name. Ada Lovelace was an amazing woman.

I just think there's a chance she might not like her name then she can use the middle one. Hopefully wont be necessary though.
My first name means Grace so I like that for that reason, DH likes the name Poppy so I thought it was a good way of including it.
We are planning on going for 3rd eventually though and if that's a girl we'll need a name in reserve!

At first I thought it said asda , I don't like it sorry, it's awful.

I've heard of a couple of baby Ada's in the past few years (London/South East) - both mums were Turkish, it was pronounced "Adda". I really like it!

We would pronounce it Ay-da, that's the traditional pronunciation I think.

I like it.

My DP has a friend with a little girl called Ada

Ada is beautiful. Great for a little girl and a woman imo. Reminds me of cold mountain.

I like it. I know an Aida, also pronounced 'ay-da', which is nice too.

Love it! Still two syllables so only seems short on paper.

Dds name is Meg and sometimes sounds too short when I say it

I also love Veda (like the girl off My Girl)

Just please not grace as a middle name....

Love it

I think its awful-sorry and Tabitha is so lovely it would be a shame to give dd2 a less pretty name.I remember some years ago meeting a woman whose newborn dd was Ada Muriel ...
Ava is prettier I think.

I really like the name Ada, reminds me of Ada Lovelace, a great woman! Veda is cool too.

lol - I also thought you'd missed out an S - asda.....

I do not think it is as "pretty" as Tabitha....... my cousins were Tabitha and Sabrina which always sounded so cool to me....

It's beautiful, and I like it with both Grace and Poppy. I did think it said Abba at first though but I am horrendously sleep deprived

I also read it as Asda.
