Middle name for Ada?

Help! My husband and I really can’t agree and baby will be here this week! We’re set on Ada but can’t decide on a middle name….
We both like grace, husband likes Robyn and I like Penelope… any other suggestions?

The first name that came to my head was Jane.

Ada Jane.

Not sure why! I have always like ms Jane though. Always thought it was a lovely feminine name, and wished it was mine (my name is 'unisex' ...Grin)

Ada Penelope.
Lovely.

Galaxyinmypocket · 30/07/2022 20:31

My initial thought was Grace. However, I also think Elizabeth would be lovely.

Ada Catherine

Itsvalentino · 30/07/2022 20:35

First thought was Ada Marie.

Lovelace? Go for full on celebration of the first female programmer. No one ever uses middle names anyway. I wish I had been more adventurous with the ones I chose

MassiveSalad22 · 30/07/2022 20:40

We have an Ada Jane in the family 😁

If it’s just Ada (not a longer version), Ada Penelope flows nicely too though OP. I’d go Penelope as first name personally! 😍

70billionthnamechange · 30/07/2022 20:46

Jane or Rae

Gloschick · 30/07/2022 20:49

My first thought was Ada May
Also...
Ada Charlotte
Ada Florence

Fivebeanchilli · 30/07/2022 22:37

Great name.
I'd go for Ada Penelope Robyn but my children all have 2 middle names and we chose one each.
Other options:
Ada Sophie
Ada Felicity
Ada Cecily
Ada Florence
Ada Amelie

Fivebeanchilli · 30/07/2022 22:38

Don't go for May (in any of its spellings) , Rae, Jane or Rose - they are the ultimate filler middle names...

RoseMartha · 30/07/2022 22:40

Ada Rae
Ada May
Ada Joyce
Ada Louise

Ada rose

PancakesWithCheese · 30/07/2022 22:48

Grace/Rose/May are just overused as middle names, they’re everywhere. Penelope works well.

Ada Raine
Ada Rose
Ada May
Ada Violet

Not Ada Penelope. It sounds like Lady Penelope.
