Ada or Jessica?

[nicannie]

If you had to pick one, which do you like?

Shortlisted these two so far - but any other suggestions are welcome as I'm so undecided! Baby girl not due until March

& Happy New Year to anyone reading x

Ada

Jessica. It's a traditional name but feels fresh in a sea of Ada, Evie's, Emilys etc.

That apostrophe was added by spell check btw.

I think Ada is lovely and will fit in with her peer group (I know a few baby Adalines and Adelaides).

Jessica is a name that's been popular for longer, so there's more people in their 20s and 30s at the moment. I like Jess as a nickname too.

Can't go wrong, I think - just different feels. (#nohelp)

Jessica for me

I prefer Ada.

Jessica is OK but the 'sic' sound puts me off.

Omg I love both you have such good taste! Maybe slightly prefer Ada but adore Jessica too

Ada Jessica could have nickname AJ too (if you like that sort of thing)

Here are some suggestions:

Imogen (not as popular as it used to be)
Sadie
Edith / Edie
Margaret /Maggie
Clementine/ Clemmie
Roxanne/Roxanna
Pearl
Delilah
Ottilie / Ottie
Cora
Eliza
River
Winter
Jemima
Holly

Jessica

I prefer Jessica

Ada as Jessica is my least fav name ever.

I love both these names. Would probably go for Jessica.

Another for you to consider - Clara.

Jessica is much nicer. Ada is an awful geriatric name like Gladys.

I like Ada but can't get over the sick sound in the middle of Jessica. Sorry.

Jessica

Jessica

Love both

Jessica

Ada. I really dislike Jessica. Dessicated coconut.

Jessica

Jessica. Ada's bloody awful

Can't stand Jessica
Sounds wet and just meh
Like Ada very much

I prefer Ada over Jessica

Jessica is very ‘early 90s’ to me, I’d go with Ada.

Neither.

Ada. I don’t know why but I HATE Jessica.
