What do you think of the name Aidah for a girl? Pronounced ay-duh.

I wanted something a little more elegant, but DH loved the name Ada.
Just a different take on spelling I suppose.

I think any time you have to tell people how to pronounce a name it's not a good idea

[Anonymous]

Noooooo

I think the "Ada" spelling is the best choice for this name. It is a pretty name.

"Aidah" is try-hard and kre8ive: yuck.

Just leave off the H.

"Ada" is the most common, traditional spelling. THIS is the "elegant" choice you want.

"Aidah" is the opposite of elegant.

That would be aye-ee-duh -- which is an opera. No.

Ada is old ladyish, but everyone seems to love old lady names these days.

I like Ada. It makes me think of The Poisonwood Bible. But you must spell it Ada. It's a palindrome!

[Anonymous]

I see this pronounced as "ay-I-dah"
So it doesn't really work

[Anonymous]

Ada or Aida (like the musical)

You could do Adaline nn Ada if you want something more formal

Agree completely. Ada is lovely; Aidah looks...kinda trashy.

Aida... like Verdi's opera.

Aidah is bleh.

Aidah will be read as Aidan when you handwrite out the name unless you are very careful with the H.

[Anonymous]

Do Ada or Adah.
