Pretty.

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.

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.

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

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 .

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.

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

kids are going to call her A duh, you know this right?

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

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

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.

I like it.

Love it.

Uh, Duh … a really ugly and weird name.
