Girls names- pronounciation of Ayda

[Anna2710]

Trying to decide on girls name for soon to be born DD1. I quite like the name Ayda but just wondering how people would pronounce it...would it be more like "Ada" or "Ida" for example?
Other names like are Elsa, Sophia and Eva but just can't decide!! Argh it's so difficult!

On first glance I'd assume it was meant to be pronounced like Aida, so eye-ee-da. If you like Ada, I'd go for that spelling and dispense with the y.

I love, love, love Elsa but the Frozen thing might put me off.

Eye-da??

I love Elsa too but it's the whole Frozen thing which makes me dubious too!

Seeing it written, I'd be torn between Ada and Aaa-eee-da.

Elsa is a bit "Frozen" to me - isn't that the name of one of the characters? (Just old enough to have missed the frenzy )

Sophia and Eva are both better.

I would just assume it was an unusual spelling of Ada and I would pronounce it as such.

Elsa is the name of one of the characters...not that I have ever actually seen it myself either and the reason I like it is nothing to actually do with Frozen, it's actually related to a DP family name.

Well, if you have a rl connection, go for it! Or Elsie? (In My Day, Elsie would have been short for Elspeth)

Why not just use Ada (or Ida if that's the pronunciation you prefer) and save yourself the misspellings?

Oh, you might also like Ailsa.

I'd assume it was pronounced Ada.

I'd be pronouncing it like Ada too.

When you say you like it how do you pronounce it? I'd think Ai da is in Ada.
Elsa- I wouldn't actually let Frozen put you off. I don't think it matters but alternative Ailsa or Elsie.
I like Eva, I know a lot. Sophia is fine I prefer Sophie
