I love it, I only know one and it’s such a lovely name. Depends on surname too though I guess.

Dapbag · 13/02/2024 15:58

It's beautiful. I had an aunt Ada and she was the most lovely, warm and fun person.

Moosely · 13/02/2024 16:36

To me it just blends into the Ava, Eva, Isla names..basically short names ending in ‘a’ which seem to be the trend now. But nothing wrong with it!

SquirrelsAssemble · 13/02/2024 16:40

I know one Ada. I like it.

I think it falls into the category of old lady names (Iris, Betty etc) which I love.

UngratefulOldCabbage · 13/02/2024 16:40

My favourite girls name

Namechangetohidemyevilness · 13/02/2024 16:41

it is lovely

Swipernoswipingg · 13/02/2024 16:41

It’s okay. A little old timey though

GoodVibesHere · 13/02/2024 16:49

Bit boring

fightingthedogforadonut · 13/02/2024 16:55

I'm a bit sick of all the trend for names like Ada/Ida/Ava tbh. Ada is a perfectly pleasant name but every second kid I encounter these days seems to be named something similar....

Onelife2024 · 13/02/2024 16:57

I love it. Simple, pretty, good for all ages.

VoleChomper · 13/02/2024 16:59

We all have different perceptions of beauty. For me Ada is the name of a downtrodden charwoman from the 1940s.

MadamVastra · 13/02/2024 17:00

I would call her Adelaide and Ada for short

Easterness · 13/02/2024 17:04

I had an Aunt Ada. She was a lovely old lady. So I associate it with good things

kimberly489 · 13/02/2024 17:10

One letter off from being Asda. Sorry.. I don't want to be named after a supermarket.

SallyWD · 13/02/2024 17:12

I really like it. Simple, beautiful, strong. I prefer Ida though.

HolyMoly24 · 13/02/2024 17:17

Ooh as PP said, I think I prefer Ida too. It's a bit 'cooler' imo

Purpleavocado · 13/02/2024 17:19

I like it, I prefer Ada to Ida.

EveryKneeShallBow · 13/02/2024 17:32

Was my beautiful, kind Nani’s name. Ada Lydia. I would have used it, but it would have been very Younique when I had my DC.

APurpleSquirrel · 13/02/2024 17:49

This would have been DSs name if he'd been a girl. Love it, ever since learning about Ada Lovelace.

Highfour · 13/02/2024 17:59

Great name and immediately reminds me of Ada Lovelace.

You can't be named after something if the original word is different Hmm

goingtotown · 13/02/2024 18:19

Ada is ok I prefer Ava.

HowNice23 · 13/02/2024 18:22

It's the new Ella Gracie Ava... There will be more than one in her class, I know two under two. Pretty but not going to be distinctive not that that really matters!

CaptainCallisto · 13/02/2024 18:27

In the primary school I work in, we currently have four girls called Ada/Aida (2 in Y1, 1 in Reception, and 1 in nursery), so it's definitely very popular in some areas. I know that doesn't bother some people, but it's useful in case it does!

ReturnOfFatBack · 13/02/2024 18:31

It's one of those kind of names where if the bearer is really cool and edgily beautiful the overall impact can be stunning. On an average looking or plain person it's just going to make everything worse. I'd be a horrific Ada. Grin
