Opinions on this girls name please!

[MotherofWomen]

Ida. Big sister has an old name too. Opinions please! :)

Lovely!

No, way too harsh. Like Edie or Ada but Ida is terrible. I don't like Iris or Ivy either! It's the eye that I don't like, not the 'da'. What about Freida or Rhoda? They seem to have a bit more too them.

It's nice. Maybe a bit try hard like, which old name can we choose that hasn't been used too much yet? May get constantly asked to spell it/mistake for Ada?

I do really like Iris.
Ines?
Iona?

I love Ida.

My friend from Norway is called Ida (pronounced 'eeda') , and I think it is a beautiful name.
It means "hardworking" or "industrious one"

Ida is harsher than Ada as mentioned above, but not in a bad way.

Not keen, sorry, - not to my taste, but if you love it, then use it.

I love it, and think it’s softer than Ada (which I do think is quite hard) - it’s not overused either - so use it quickly!

It's a lovely name.

It's fine but I find it blends in with all the Ava/Eva/Adas I know.

I love Ida.

A Norwegian friend of mine is called Ida (Eeda) and I really like it. I can see how I’d could get lost in the Ada/Eva/Ava popularity but I don’t think as much so as the Emily/Amelie/Amelia set. It’s a great name.

I love the name Ida!
It's common in Scandinavia where I'm from,
like @KateJW95 wrote we pronounce it "Eeda".
I'm 36 years old, and I went to school with three girls with the name Ida.

I love Ida, it's gorgeous.

We were torn between Ada and Ida and ultimately chose Ada, but Ida is still stunning.

I really like Ida!

Not keen, a bit harsh for me. Also if she wants to take her husbands name it might sound odd with some surnames.

Ida McDonald
Ida Payne
Etc

Like it

Ida Down?

Idan’t know if it is something Ida choose, but if you like it, go for it.

Pretty name.

Don't like

It's sweet. Reminds me of a game called Monument Valley - in a good way. I always liked the name after playing it. My only thought was that I'd forget it because it's similar to other names (like the ones mentioned above) but has less of a place in my memory in real life - I get that a lot with shorter names though, it might just be me. I don't think it's harsh though, it's a vowel sound.

Depends how it's pronounced.

EE-da - yes, really nice. Very Scandi cool.

EYE-da - absolutely not. Granny very un-chic. Not cool at all.

I really like it.
My friend has an Ida Primrose.

Portuguese version Aida.
I actually love it.

when dd was little she had an annoying friend called Ida Know

Eye-da or Ee-da? Not keen on 'Eye-da' or Edie or Ada.
