Vida name pronunciation

[Scottyme]

Vye-da or Vee-da?

Every old lady I know with the name Vida pronounces it vye-da but there is a little Vida in school where her parents pronounce it vee-da.

I also know a Veeda so to me they are 2 different names.

I've never heard of it, so I instinctively think "Vee-da".

vee- du

It is a feminine form of David

and can be short for Davida

The only one I know is Vee-da.

It would be vee-da to me. (And I could never use it because Veda is a type of bread - bread of the Gods actually - and it would be weird to call a child that)

To me it's vee -da. The Spanish for "life".

My grandma's name was Vida ! We pronounced item VIda the I as in eye . Its a lovely unusual name . I noticed Michael Bible's daughter has it ! - obviously because of My gma .

I thought it was Vee-da and have never heard V-eye-da. But I don't know anyone irl with this name

Yes @Soozikinzii every older lady with this name is VI-da to me, so I actually find the Vee pronunciation strange. I think Vi as the same as Violet.

It interesting to the meaning of Vida and hear that others would pronounce it Veeda. Thank you everyone

For me it's because of the Spanish. La vida loca!

His wife is from Argentina.

Samesies.

Vee da

Never heard of it; but I would instinctively say "veeda". I would find it quite odd if I heard someone say "vyeda"

Vee-da only heard the name once in an ex colleague, she must be a little only lady now. Vyda sounds off

I have never heard that name!

My instinct would be to pronounce it Vee-da.

I’d say Veeda. I wonder if it’s the same effect where Sophia was often said as So-fye-a in Britain, whereas the name is now almost exclusively So-fee-a. Maybe because of more globalisation and familiarity with European languages.

The only one I know is pronounced vee-da, and she’s a horse! Seconding @PopcornAndGummyBears it’s an amazing bread to me, not a name for child

The one I know is Vee-da.

Veeda as in livin la Vida loca

Veeda, as in the Spanish.

I've never heard the name but I would probably say Vee-da. Unless it's the same name as Veda in My Girl in which case I'd say Vay-da.

Did you use the name Vida ? As in V- eye- da ? and Violet ? Like my gma ? I know the word Vida is pronounced differently. But Vi is nice and people get used to how you choose to say it ! I think it's a lovely name anyway, but I'm biased !

My grandmother pronounced it V-eye-da, but she used to get called Vee-da too if people hadn’t met her before.

Vee-da

Viva la Vida!

Great name

Veeda.
