Middle name Violet.

Ada or Eliza, every other little girl is called Evelyn I’m afraid.

H3342 · 13/04/2026 19:39

Eliza - lovely name

KnitWitsAnonymous · 13/04/2026 19:45

I like all three, but in order of preference I would choose

(1) Eliza
(2) Evelyn
(3) Ada

Treylime · 13/04/2026 19:46

Eliza is really nice

24Dogcuddler · 13/04/2026 19:50

I like Eliza too. Evelyn pretty but popular and different pronunciations like Eva Lyn and Eve Lyn.

MamaSleep · 13/04/2026 19:54

Ada

beeble347 · 13/04/2026 19:55

Really love Ada! Ada Lovelace - what a namesake!

DramaAlpaca · 13/04/2026 20:29

Eliza

willsandnoodle · 13/04/2026 20:30

Evelyn 😍 been in love with it since hearing the song ‘Evelyn’ by Hurts

GoldenNuggets08 · 13/04/2026 20:37

Ada has become extremely popular in the last few years in my area, it's a lovely name! It would be my favourite of the 3. I'm not mad about Eliza, sounds dowdy to me.

Nursemumma92 · 13/04/2026 20:39

Ada is my favourite but I am biased and I have an Ada. She's the only one I've heard of her age in my area.

azuresky50 · 13/04/2026 20:54

I like Adrianna and Elizabeth. Very classic.

Blodyneighbour · 13/04/2026 20:57

Eliza. She is so kind and caring and emphatic.

Daffodilsinthespring · 13/04/2026 21:27

Eliza (it’s lovely)
Ada too popular
Evelyn lovely but I don’t like that it can be said three ways.

EvolvedAlready · 13/04/2026 21:31

Eliza.

I just don’t think Ada is nice name. It’s more of a noise. I know a few Ada’s and always think; it’s like a word a baby would say.

Firebird83 · 13/04/2026 21:40

Ada. Eliza and Evelyn are more popular where I live.

Cocktailsandcheese · 13/04/2026 21:56

I'd go for Ada. I'm not a fan of Eliza at all, and I don't really like Evelyn unless you'd call her Evie for short (which I do love!)

BoleynMemories13 · 13/04/2026 21:58

Eliza is my favourite but it doesn't go with Violet. The repeated eye sound is jarring.

Ada is lovely. I do like Evelyn, but only pronounced Ev-eh-lyn. I dislike Eve-lyn and Ev-lyn.

Ada Violet therefore gets my vote.

DanceMumTaxi · 13/04/2026 21:59

Not Evelyn. It’s too confusing to know how to pronounce it. I teach 5 at the moment and they’re a mixture of Ev-lyn, Eve-lyn and Ever-lyn. I like Eliza best from your list.

Giraffehaver · 13/04/2026 22:36

Ada and Eliza are lovely. I have an irrational dislike of Evelyn

user2848502016 · 13/04/2026 22:40

Eliza
Second choice Ada
Not keen on Evelyn

RegalDiamondMonster · 13/04/2026 23:06

I really dislike Eliza, it's such a harsh sound to me. Ada my favourite out of those.

NamingNoNames · 14/04/2026 10:14

I don't really like any of them but if pushed:

  1. Eliza - ok because I love My Fair Lady
  2. Ada - because of Lovelace
  3. Evelyn - I don't like the sound and Evie is too popular
FlatStanley50 · 14/04/2026 10:26

Eliza, Evelyn, Ada - just because Ada is insanely popular around here - I know 6 small children called Ada!
