Ada?

[sodallas3]

I feel in love with the name Ada when i was younger. If I ever use it it'll probably end up being a middle name, I just worried Ada isn't enough. Opinions?

I actually think Ada has enough substance for a first name. Most definitely, considering the popular names Ava and Eva. Ada is a great alternative.

I love the name Ada! I think it works fine a full FN or as a NN for Adelaide or Adele

I adore Ada. This is one of the few exceptions where I think it has enough substance for a first name. It has the same air about it as Cora which I absolutely adore. Very old-fashioned and sweet little girl-ish but can easily be used without seeming too 'old'. My great great grandmother was named Ada May which I think is absolutely stunning.

I like Ada as a standalone name. I prefer it to all the Eva/Ava names. I don't like Adelaide or Adele, personally.

Ada, Lila, Ivy, Amy, etc. all appeal to me - names don't have to be long to be complete, and also very feminine. And I generally don't like nickname names and I'm still saying that.

I adore Ada! I sometimes think to make it a bit fuller it would be nice to add 'h' at the end, but then I see Adah and think, eegads, no! Ada is so lovely, I think it can stand on its own.

I love it too, and I think it's a great alternative to the over-popular Ava.

Adah is a real name too but it's not pronounced like Ada usually is and also is a bit clunkier looking to me.

Ada(h) is darling!

Ada is gorgeous! Why isn't it strong enough to stand alone? Ava, Mia, Ana are all short names that just fine as first names. I saw a little Ada on House Hunters this weekend and thought "how refreshing"!
