My friends nan was Veda. It's beautiful. Dearth hadn't even occurred to me!

Wolfiefan · 14/01/2014 23:33

Veda is a type of bread in N Ireland!

MyNameIsKenAdams · 14/01/2014 23:37

It hadnt to me till I mentioned the name on a board here a year or so ago to be given an "as in Darth?" response.

Not pg yet but I like to keep a list on my phone as I really dont think I will ever find a name as much as I love my dds.

Veda is the nicest bread in the world - fact.
Toasted with lots of butter.

Now hungry... and living in England :(

Not keen but if you have liked it since you were young then don't let others put you off. You have to be happy with the name.

DPotter · 14/01/2014 23:51

I thought it was spelt Vida - wouldn't be so obvious a link for Darth.

cremolafoam · 14/01/2014 23:53

Veda bread sandwiches.
Sorry OPGrin

MyNameIsKenAdams · 14/01/2014 23:53

Yep , Veda bread sandwiches

Sorry OP

UriGeller · 15/01/2014 00:06

Oh, I always thought Vida was pronounced Vee-da, like La vida loca?

Is Veda pronounced Vader like Darth then? I've never really heard it before.

tothesea · 15/01/2014 00:09

Veda bread...oh yum.

badtime · 15/01/2014 00:26

The character from My Girl was called Vada.

JapaneseMargaret · 15/01/2014 07:13

What badtime said.

willyoulistentome · 15/01/2014 07:17

Yes. I'd immediately expect her breath to start rasping and for her to be an evil child.

Monkeyandanimal · 15/01/2014 07:18

how about leda instead?

willyoulistentome · 15/01/2014 07:26

..as in leader? Or layder?

HopeS01 · 15/01/2014 07:54

I liked the name in My Girl too, but because they're American I was sure whether it was Veta or Veda Blush

whereisthewitch · 15/01/2014 07:57

Yeah it was definitely Vada not Veda which is the best bread ever! Sorry OP, you could probably get away with it so long as you're not in NI.

Vajazzler · 15/01/2014 07:59

My girl is one of my favourite films and I loved the name Vada. Unfortunately dh vetoed it but in hindsight I would have pushed harder to get my way. Do it!

Bunbaker · 15/01/2014 08:01

How do you pronounce it? I would say Veeda, having never come across the name before.

Amrapaali · 15/01/2014 08:10

I like it. Has a very spiritual resonance in my culture.

MyNameIsKenAdams · 15/01/2014 08:18

Oh I always thought it was Veda. Actually prefer Vada Grin

It isa name DH would probably veto but he vetoed dds name and ended up loving it!

youbethemummylion · 15/01/2014 08:22

Love it if I had had a girl instead of boys there would be a little Vada running around not caring one bit about the Darth comments

hatebeak · 15/01/2014 11:45

How about Theda?
