I love it!

Elspethelf · 16/08/2023 06:36

I quite like the way it sounds

Tara24 · 16/08/2023 06:39

I like it.

It's only when it's written that you see the ADA twice. But, so what?

If you're not sure though , how about Avis Adams?

Tara24 · 16/08/2023 06:41

Or Adeline Adams? She could be Ada or Addy for short .

@SylvanianFrenemies, because there is a tendency to slip in an r sound between two vowel sounds. (intrusive r)
If you listen to someone talking about e.g. Nicola Adams or Jessica Ennis, they say the names as Nicoluh Radams and Jessicuh Rennis.

Not a great idea

I see your thinking. I think this is limited to a few non-rhotic South of England/North American accents but I guess relevant if the OP lives in these places.

I like it.

Carouselfish · 17/08/2023 15:41

Adeline Adams?
Or go for next letter along as first dc is an A
Beatrice Adams
Betsy Adams
Etc

It sounds a bit odd. It wouldn’t be my choice.
