Girls name - What are your thoughts on...

Ada.

My DP loves it and I am on the fence.

One of the daughters in in the SmellyBelly YouTube Family is called Aydah.
Pronounced as Ada but spelt Aydah which I think looks better.
I quite like it spelt like that or as Ayda.

LOVE it. It’s a strong name but still feminine. Ada Lovelace is an awesome namesake.

I love it

I don't understand the love on here for Ada, awful name.

I also thought of Ada Lovelace. I really like it, OP. Simple, pretty but not frilly or cutesy.

I like it.

We had chickens when I was a teenager and my dad named his one “daft Ada” as an homage to Darth Vader 🤣

My Auntie Ada was a sour old woman. So its a no from me

It’s honestly a bit dreary, like Martha and Ethel.

I really like Ada :)

Exactly this.

It's lovely! Short and sweet.

It feels incomplete. Like some old geezer started saying something, and then fell asleep.

Mine and DH’s favourite girls name.

Lovely.

Why people hate Ada but rave about Ivy, Olive and Violet (to name but three examples) is beyond me.

Gorgeous name, makes me think of Ada Lovelace and this book which my DD loves

I hate Ivy too. Olive is pretty bad. I can’t stand Edith or Evelyn either.

Adore it.

One of those granny chic names I dislike sorry OP

ONS have announced Ada’s growing popularity this year as a result of Peaky Blinders...

In the series, she’s an opinionated, feisty feminist.

I’m still a bit on the fence. It’s ‘fine’, but maybe a bit clunky or frumpy...

If you’re not 100% about it, hold your line and keep looking x

I know 3 children called Ada. Not my cup of tea but I doubt my kids' names are loved by all!

A bit Peaky Blinders for me

Horrible.

It's when you KNOW SONEINE CALLED Ada and I couldn't do that to a baby but I don't dislike it as a name. I'd probably go for Aida

I think it's nice but I also think if you aren't convinced then don't use it and try and find something you both love. My dh was set on the name Cara for our daughter and whilst I liked it I didn't love it and I wanted to love her name. We didn't end up calling her that and i'm glad. I think I would've regretted it.
