Veda

[MyNameIsKenAdams]

Ive always loved it, since watching My Girl when I was little...

But people are going to think Darth, arent they

I would say Leda as Layda. Or how about Vita? Said Veeta?

Made me think of the Rig Veda rather than Darth!

A NI pg woman here now desperately craving a hunk of Veda with lashings of butter...!

Like Ada with a V?

Is Veda not a bread in England then? 14 years here and still learning. In NI it would be a bit like calling your baby Ciabatta.

I immediately thought of My Girl.

Nope Veda is not a bread in England but its spelt Vada and pronounced Vayda not Veeda if that makes a difference, how do you pronounce the bread?

I've also loved the name since My Girl, but don't think I'd have the guts to use it (not that DH would ever agree). Ada is a good alternative, and the little girl was played by an 'Anna' which is a lovely name. People may only think of 'Darth' when they first meet her, after that I'm sure they'll attach it to her as a person, so if you (and your DH) really love it, go for it!

I do like Ada - it isnt a name I had ever thought of, and it has a little 'old lady' feel to it, like DDs name.

Anna is a classic - however our surname is Can........
So she would be Anna Can......

Complete nostalgia here - reminded me of Vada Sultenfuss from the film My Girl

Of course, I thought about Darth, too - but that was secondary.

I also like that if she ever asked about her name I can show her My Girl and its a good reason!

I must add, seeing the In Laws faces when we tell them the name is an added bonus. Aoife is on the list mainly as I adore it but also comedy value at the ILs attempting to pronounce it.

Im not Irish _ hence why I didnt know about the bread

Oh it's beautiful!! Love it. Am very jealous!
