Another middle name for Ada Joy? perhaps a Maori one?

I think we might be decided on Ada Joy for this bump, if it's a girl. With Joy being my mother's name.

But I just can't get past her having 2 really short names, so I'm wondering about adding another middle name, but can't decide what. I'm from New Zealand, so I wondered about a Maori name, perhaps Aroha (meaning love). So Ada Aroha Joy..

What do you think? What other suggestions can you make?

I'd go with Aroha Joy and ditch Ada. I think it's lovely.

I like Ada, I'd stick with your plan (Ada Ahora Joy).

I had a friend called Ngaire, which was "Nye-ree" which was lovely. That was from NZ

Ada Aroha Joy is nice.

Other suggestions...

Ada Anahera Joy (angel)
Ada Airini Joy (peace)
Ada Atarangi Joy (morning sky)
Ada Marama Joy (moon)
Ada Ngaire Joy (silver fern)
Ada Areta Joy (noble)

Really like Ada Aroha Joy. Very pretty.

We are also thinking of naming the baby Ada if it is a girl.

Love it too! Perfect!

Lovely names.
How about Ada Joy Aroha?
You lose the double a sound

To me Ada is one of the less attractive 'granny names' I know someone who called her baby Ada Muriel though, the baby is beautiful.
I love your two other names.

Ada Ngaio Joy

@johendy what did you decide?

My daughter is Ada Ngaio (her Dad is a Kiwi). Never thought I would come across another one!!

StevieJo · 14/07/2015 12:06

My mothers name is Ngaire....Ada Ngaire Joy?

johendy · 14/07/2015 14:16

We didn't go with Ada, but did go with 2 middle names, including a Maori one - Aroha Joy
