It's really not a good choice. Sorry.
How about Amy Adams?

CurlewKate · 13/08/2023 15:52

It's a barmaid in a very dated detective novel. Probably "no better than she ought to be"

StarPotential · 13/08/2023 15:57

No. I don’t even like Ada on its own.

LAlD · 13/08/2023 15:58

How about Adaline Adams?

I love alliterative names.

porridgeisbae · 13/08/2023 16:14

I don't mind it.

Busubaba · 13/08/2023 16:51

It's a bit sing song.

Amy Adams sounds better but I have a feeling it's the name of a celebrity.

daisypond · 13/08/2023 16:54

I quite like it, even though I’m not keen on Ada generally.

Cinai · 13/08/2023 16:57

As PP suggested, I think Ida Adams or Ava Adams would be great choices. These flow much better and in my opinion, Ida and Ava sound better than Ada

Love it

You can call your baby whatever you want as it's your baby. Groups like this will be full of unsolicited opinions and different tastes too.

No one likes what we just called our son but he's not their son and it's not their decision x

Ohyousillydivvy · 13/08/2023 17:00

Adaline Adams

POWL01 · 13/08/2023 17:00

I like it!

loveourplanet · 13/08/2023 17:01

Adelaide Adams

Ohyousillydivvy · 13/08/2023 17:01

Or Adelaide Adams
Azalea Adams
Anna Adama
Arabella Adams

I don’t have a problem with Asda Adams, but with another A sibling, it’s too much for me.

DigbyTheDigger · 13/08/2023 17:04

The two a’s in the middle run together in a really clunky way.

Unsolicited??

Please not Asda. Or Ada.

How about:

Ava
Ama
Ava
Alessia
Alyssa
Amelia
Amy
Ayla
Aria

Ummm. They’ve been very much solicited.

I have a DS with alliteration op, and o love it but I do think Ada is just too similar to work with Adams.

Bilingualspingual · 13/08/2023 17:13

The glottal stop in between (in my accent) would put me off, although as a pp said, a lot of accents would add an ‘R’ in between. Otherwise I quite like it…

BrownOwlknowsbest · 13/08/2023 17:17

I went to school with triplets who all had names beginning with V. They hated the fact that post always (or often anyway) came addresses to Miss V. Surname and there were fights over who it belonged to. Just a thought to bear in mind

Hazelnut9 · 13/08/2023 17:25

I think it sounds nice actually, but it doesn’t look quite right when you see it written down.

MrsMarzetti · 13/08/2023 17:26

I like it

SneezyEvie · 13/08/2023 17:27

No, I think it’s too much. Ava Adams however I think works nicely.

SayingwhatIreallythink · 13/08/2023 17:28

I love it
