Name Ida

[Monjpetitardin]

A friend has named her baby girl Ida. I think it's awful, just so old fashioned. What do you think?

[Andrelaxzz]

I really love it. I have a friend called Ida who is about 24 and she is fabulous.

[Bluepalms]

I think you’re not a very good friend

[DramaAlpaca]

I agree with you, OP.

[MoleyAndGeorge]

I think you should say ‘how lovely, and she looks just like you’.

Why? Just because I'm not a fan of the name she's chosen? How do you know what kind of a friend I am?

[LimeTreeGrove]

I've always loved it. I first heard it as a child from the Hans Christian Anderson story Ida's Flowers. I like it pronounced Eye da

Because you’re bitching about your ‘friends’ baby name on an Internet forum! Not exactly a nice thing to do is it? I’m glad you’re not my friend anyway.

Not being a fan is one thing. Creating this post to slag it off is another. It is not the behaviour of a great friend.

Sorry, "Little Ida's Flowers"

I really like it - and as it has a lot in common with other short, currently trendy names (Isla, Ada, Edie...) it will probably be generally well received as fitting the current trend but being a bit different.

It's a lovely name. I know the sweetest little girl named Ida.

Oh do give over! There are hundreds of threads on here about baby names!

[CustardGoodJamGoodMeatGood]

I love it, Ida and Ada were on my list of baby names for DD2

Agree. Couldn't imagine one of my friends going out of their way to post online that they hate my baby's name.

[BlueSuffragette]

Love it.

Yes, but you’ve started a thread specifically looking for posters to say negative things about your friends baby name. What if she sees this thread? It’s not a nice thing to do is it.

[DarkDarkNight]

I think it’s a lovely name.

[Monjpetitardin]

Actually, she's a very distant acquaintance - a Facebook person, whom I wouldn't exactly describe as a friend. I haven't met her for over 30 years. I just hate the name.

Right.

What are you trying to achieve with this post OP?

[SkiingIsHeaven]

Ida picked a different one.

[OneCup]

I really like it!

[YetiTeri]

I love it. But I new an Ida and she was fab. It's often associations that make the emotional behind the name.

I'd probably hate your name.
