I’m wondering how everyone would spell the name “add-uh”? I’m not quite sure what the best option would be so I would love to hear some outside opinions. Thanks!
You mean [name]Ada[/name]?
I think your options are really to spell it like [name]Ada[/name] or [name]Adah[/name], and say it’s “[name]ADD[/name]-ah” not “AY-dah” or “[name]AH[/name]-dah” respectively, or to come up with a more kre8tiv spelling, like [name]Adda[/name]. I do like the sound, though. Or maybe you could do [name]Adelaide[/name]/[name]Adeline[/name], nn [name]Adda[/name]?
I would spell it [name]Ada[/name] or [name]Adah[/name]. [name]Both[/name] spellings would work.
[name]Adda[/name] is what I would choose.
I’d use [name]Adda[/name], just like add + a.
[name]Ada[/name] is AY-dah.
Well I’ve asked before, I think it was on here, how people would pronounce [name]Ada[/name] and most people said “AY-dah” so I was assuming a lot of people would pronounce it wrong [name]IRL[/name]. Or if I did go with [name]Ada[/name] would it just be simply correcting people and moving on? I don’t really like [name]Adda[/name], and I’d much rather have her correct people on how to say her name verses spelling it.
That’s wrong. English language adopted foreign names, but set out wrong pronunciation. Most names are prn. wrong by most people.
Having to correct people on a daily basis would get really annoying, [name]IMO[/name]. Your daughter would meet new people every day and she’d have to correct people at the doctor, dentist, school, etc. Sure, some people you’d see enough to remember the correct pronunciation but not everyone would remember. A friend of mine started going by a different pronunciation of her name because it was less hassle than continually correcting people, fwiw.
Huh?
I want to say that people pronounce many names wrong.
What about Atta? [name]Princess[/name] Atta was the little ant in A Bug’s Life and her name was pronounced [name]Adda[/name].
[name]Adah[/name] would work for me even though the vowel sound is still a bit different.
[name]Ada[/name] is very much AY-duh to me, I’ve only known one but thats how she said it and how [name]Ive[/name] always heard it.
I like the suggestion of Atta too!
[name]Ada[/name] I’ve heard AY-da and [name]AH[/name]-da (like Odd-uh). I prefer the second way but that’s Spanish influence I think.
[name]Adah[/name] is ah-DAH, accent on the second syllable. It doesn’t sound like add-uh at all to my ear.
Adder sounds like add-uh to me.
I know an [name]Ada[/name] and she says it [name]AH[/name]-da (odd-uh). I prefer it that way over AY-da.
I like the suggestion of Atta!
I would spell it [name]Adda[/name].
An Adder is a snake here so the sound doesn’t appeal to me as name at all.
If they said it ‘add-a’ then they’d spell it [name]Adda[/name]. Pretty sure they pronounce it as it’s spelt. T and D make different noises. If I saw ‘Atta’ then I’d say the ‘t’s’ I wouldn’t substitute them for D’s unless I was slurring the word.
I know a woman named Atta pronounced [name]Add[/name]-uh! I like that spelling MUCH more than [name]Adda[/name].
