Girls name.....Ada or Fia?

[BabyTalbot1]

Which do you prefer?

Ada or Fia?

Middle name will be Louise 😊

Ada.

Fia sounds like Thea with an estuary accent.

Ada definitely. Haven't heard of Fia before and it'll get mistaken for Thea (which is lovely but still) and it'll also get lost in the endless Mia's, Tia's, Leahs.

Ada Louise is absolutely gorgeous as well.

Fia sounds like Fear?

or is that Thea with wrong letters?

I am Irish, and live in England. Fiadh is an Irish name but I would lose the 'dh' to help with pronunciation in England. I thought about the closeness to Thea and would the name get lost etc.

If you're Irish and want the name Fiadh then don't lose the 'dh', it just makes it into a non proper name. If you're really worried about pronunciation, then Ada is the way to go. I completely get that Fiadh will get mispronounced in England a ton, but Fia will just get lost. Ada on the other hand seems perfect to me! Good luck whatever you choose

Ada is so pretty

Ada. Quite a few around at the moment though.

I much prefer Fia.
I knew a Fia once, it was short for Fiammetta, which I think is beautiful.

I’d go Fiadh. Ada just looks unfinished, isn’t a nice sound and just blends into the other Ava/Ayla type name.

I know a Fia short for Sofia. I think it’s lovely.

Fiadh is lovely except I only hear ‘fear’.

Fia(dh) is way overdone at the moment in Ireland anyway, so many of them in the last 2-3 years. Ada is a beautiful name.

Ada 🥰

Fia! I have a Fia and would highly recommend it.

DD is 6 and in her class there’s a Leah, Fiadh and Mia. Also an Ada and an Ava. And a Mya.

I’ve been very confused over whether some of them were different children or if DD was just mixing names up.

Ada

Fiadh but with the dh. I have one and it's a lovely name. Mine is nearly 8 now but the name has become crazy popular in the last few years.

Fiadh

Ada!

DS would have been an Ada if he had been a girl.

I like Ada much better and agree that Fia will be misheard as Thea, especially by children who often struggle with F and Th. Or Fear (It also looks a bit like Fiat the car, with a letter missed off).

Fia sounds like fear where I live. So go for Ada

Ada - if I had a girl I would choose this name, also because I love her in Peaky Blinders

Fia

They're both lovely 💜

Ada….. entirely because I wasn’t sure how to pronounce Fia.
