Vader girls name?

[ImaginaryLobster]

Anyone remember the film My girl, main character named Vader (Maybe spelt different)
I really like the name and thinking star wars isn't as popular as it was my partner is unsure

Darth Vader…

Do you mean something else? Veda, perhaps? I think that’s a name

Its Vada apparently. Means knowledgeable.
Vader means father.

It's Vada in My Girl.

Star Wars is still massively popular. Just go see the spin off shows on Disney+. Ok they aren't about Vader but the word is still hugely associated with the character.

I’ve never watched a Star Wars film in my life and I still jumped straight to thinking Darth Vader.

Shame because it would be pretty otherwise.

To me, Vader ("vay-der") = Star wars / Vada ("vah- der") = polari for 'look'.

Hope she isn't born on 04/05...

Darth Vader, sorry.

My DC who have never seen Star Wars no about Darth Vader. He's very much still 'out there' as a character.

I do love names with a D sound in them though and there aren't loads. How about:

Cariad
Ida
Matilda
Astrid
Madeline
Ada
Jada
Elodie

I love the name Vada because of My Girl and always wanted to use it but couldn't get past the Darth Vader reference. I prefer the spelling Veda, and will consider it as a middle name.

I have a 6YO in Y2 and she’s been invited to 2 Star Wars themed parties this term… at one they had someone dressed up as Darth Vader, at the other he was just in the party bags in squishy form. Of course it’s still a thing! No one will think of anything else when they hear it.

Great idea. How about ‘Anakin’ as a middle name? What a lucky little girl Vader Anakin would be! 🙄

What about Vida?

I knew a Vida, beautiful name.

DS has a girl in his nursery class called Vada (pronounced like Darth) and Star Wars is 100% what my brain goes to each time I hear it.

It is spelt Vada - I know a Vada!

it's such a shame its linked so hard to Darth Vader so think it would be unfair to use

Sorry, but no, please don't. Vader = Darth Vader and will do for a very long time.
Why not -
Vera
Vivian
Valerie
Vida
Vala
Verity

Well her name wasn't Vader, so there's that.

I like Vida, it's used in Serbia not sure if it has associations with other countries.

I love Star Wars but immediately thought My girl rather than Star Wars. Do it!

I love the name Vada but there is always that instant Star Wars connection :(

In Dutch it means Father, so would more likely be a masculine name instead of feminine.

😂😂🤣 best comment! But maybe the force would have to be with her having a name like that!

With a rhotic accent, Vada is pronounced entirely differently to Vader. If your accent would read Vada as "Vader", I would not use it.

Absolutely awful, why would you do that to a child. I’m not even a Star Wars fan, I’ve never watched it in my life and still my first thought was Darth Vader

It has annoyed me for years that in Pitch Perfect Anna Kendrick’s character states that Vader is German for father! Such lazy writing!

Get a grip woman, you can't call the poor girl Vader.
