What are your thoughts on the name Adda?

[awuszka]

Hi all, I'm expecting a baby girl in September and can't decide on a name. I would like something that will be connected to Poland as I am Polish. There is a Polish name Ada but pronounced completely different from English Ada. Very similar in pronunciation to Adda. Have you heard this name before? Is it nice or not really? What are your opinions please?

Sorry, I have difficulties describing the sounds. The polish pronunciation is with short A. Both the first and last letter.

Yes it is pronounced like saa ra.
I don't like Zara... I'm so picky.
I can't sleep at night because I'm constantly thinking I have no name for my baby ;)

Sara is fine - it's a lovely name. Once people know how it's pronounced the spelling won't be all that important.

I work with a lovely Polish lady called Marta.

I’d pick Sara, in your shoes! In my mind Sara is sah-rah and Sarah is s-air-ah. Beautiful names, all of them, but Ada will require endless correction and Maya is very popular these days in the U.K.

Snake

I think that in the U.K. most people will look at Sara and expect it to be pronounced Sahra but also be aware that Saira is an alternative possibility. So it’s a very easy cross cultural choice. Maya is a trouble free choice as well.

Think i just pressed 'report' button by mistake! Oops.

Yes, i thought of snake straight away as well, not good.

Sara is a very pretty name, i love that.
