Aida?

Prefer Ada

I prefer Ada too, but it's a nice name.

pronounced like how it's spelt?

Do you mean Ah-EE-da? I prefer that to Ada, but some may think it is a 'unique' spelling of Ada so you may have to explain the pronunciation from time to time. Will you use a diaresis? That would help.

Just Ada.

I was thinking like ay-da?

Aida would be pronounced something like Ay-ee-da.

To me, Ada is a name

Aida is the material you cross stitch on

It just makes me think of the Verdi opera.... and it does not end happily for Aida!

To me Aida is Eye-ee-dah too. Ada is Ay-da

It just makes me think of the Verdi opera.... and it does not end happily for Aida!

Ohhhh so (ay-da) is like Ada? Because i was thinking of the name on sound and not spelling, so if i wanted (ay-da) then it would be Ada? All makes sense

Yes yes, like Ada Lovelace. Ay-da.

Ada 😁

Ada - A-da. My friend thinks it's pronounced adder, like the snake, which makes me cringe!
Aida - eye-ee-da.
Prefer Aida actually but wouldn't use it due to the obvious pronunciation issues.

thanks for all the replies guys, glad to know I have the write spelling in mind now

Ada is lovely!

Daduuuuuum, diddidy dum dum dum, dididdy duuum dumdum.

Love Ada! It's def pronounced Ayda in the UK. Aida is eye-ee-da as PPs said.

I'd say Ay-ee-da like the opera

ps Ada is a great name!

Got it, Mavis! Dada dum da dum, dum da dum, dum da dum, dum da duuuum...
