I’m not interested in using it myself but I’m very curious as to the spelling and pronunciation. A character from a book I read recently named her daughter [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and I wasn’t sure how to say it in my mind lol.

2

Ay-duh
Ay as in rhyming with may

3

Ay-duh, the same as above

I pronounced it like add-uh for years because I associated it with the character Atta from A Bug’s Life. I’m just starting to be able to say it ay-duh in my head but the pronuciation that comes out of my mouth depends on my mood. Right now, I’d probably say add-uh. Both proncuations are technically legit but add-uh is used more as a nickname.

It was my mother’s childhood nn and i also met a young woman named Ada (short for Alexandra), both pronounced it as uh-duh. Though keep in mind that they both have it as a nickname, so the pronunciation might be different as a stand alone.
