All that matters is if you and her father love it.
We named our two boys and will name this soon-to-be-born girl after people we love whom we are not related to by blood. All of our kids have names that sound like they should be in a nursing home! But I look at my boys and cannot imagine them being named any other names. |

| Reminds me of The Poisonwood Bible (neutral association) and I would assume the parents are pretty religious. It's pretty. |

| Cute! Needs a middle name with stronger consonants probably. But, lovely name! |

I think it's lovely. I know a little Ada Lillian which I think is a beautiful combination.

I like the Hebrew spelling better b/c the pronunciation seems easier to figure out. "Ada" would probably be called Aaaay-da instead of Ahhh-duh. |

Op here- I like the Adah spelling but I like the pronunciation aaa- dah. Long a. Is this correct with Adah ?
This is where I'm not sure . |

| By long a, do you mean Aaaah - duh? I didn't even know that was a proper pronunciation of Adah. |

I am very confused by the pronunciations that people are spelling here.
The Ada's I know pronounce the first syllable with a long A sound (AY like in Jane), and the second syllable with a schwa. Just like Ava except with a D. Is that how other people are pronouncing it? The AAAAAA and the Ah's are confusing me, as I've only seen them used for other sounds like in cat or father. |

| If its Hebrew, the accent is probably on the second syllable, like a-DAH. I knew an Adi (Israeli) and it was pronounced a-DEE, not AH-dee. Someone with actual knowledge of Hebrew should chime in. |
