What would you think if you met a little girl named [name_f]Ida[/name_f]? [name_m]How[/name_m] well would it hold up into adulthood?
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] rethink that!
The only [name_f]Ida[/name_f] Iāve ever known was a crotchety old lady so unfortunately now all I can picture when I hear the name is an old woman.
Thanks to you two, and anyone else who will comment. Itās all hypothetical, anyway.
I think itās a little subject to jokes as you see. I prefer [name_f]Ada[/name_f] or [name_f]Isla[/name_f] (eye-luh).
I kinda imagine [name_f]Ida[/name_f] being [name_f]Heidi[/name_f]'s mom or grandma.
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and can stand [name_f]Ada[/name_f], but [name_f]Ida[/name_f] is a no-go. Too, too many jokes can be made.
All I can think of is the Spanish word āidaāā¦ Iāve booked too many trips in Spanish where youāre either going āsolo idaā or āida y vueltaā.
I do know someone named [name_f]Ida[/name_f] (eye-da, not ee-da like the word), and it works just fine on her I think itās an all right name. Not my personal fave, but itās all right.
I actually really like it and think it would be refreshing amongst todayās [name_u]Kenzie[/name_u]'s and [name_u]Aydin[/name_u]'s.
[name_f]My[/name_f] grandmother was an [name_f]Ida[/name_f] according to her birth certificate, but she was so ashamed of the name she wouldnāt admit it to anyone, and went by a mn. Iād reconsider.
I love [name_f]Ida[/name_f]. To me, it is both trendy and classic. Where I am from, it is pronounced āee-dahā, not āeye-dahā. I have it on my list as [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Cosette[/name_f]. =)
Wow, Iām surprised by so many negative responses. I actually love this name. To me it sounds super sweetāvintage but totally useable with todayās trends. But maybe Iām wrong in my perception. I hadnāt thought of any of the above mentioned concerns.
I like it. I like names that are complete at three letters. It is āoldā but not really more so than a lot of names that are coming back? [name_f]Edith[/name_f] can come back but [name_f]Ida[/name_f] canāt?
[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t listen to all the negative comments! If you really like it, then use it! Personally, I love it. Itās vintagey and fits in nicely with names like [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Ada[/name_f], and [name_f]Ava[/name_f]. I also agree with the pp about [name_f]Edith[/name_f].
I donāt think youāre wrong in your perception!
I had [name_f]Ida[/name_f] on my list for the girl Iām adopting but took it off because it just doesnāt feel right for her. [name_f]Ida[/name_f] is similar to [name_f]Isla[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f], Iād love to see it make a comeback!
I know an [name_f]Ida[/name_f]. She is often nn Idaho (behind her back) and a few times the joke has been made I-da-ho as in āIām the whoreā so sadly itās a big thumbs down from me. If adults joke like that imagine what teenagers will do.
[name_f]Ima[/name_f] has the same problemā¦ Iām a thisā¦ Iām a thatā¦
I adore Ida.
The sound is lovely, the shortness is sweet. While vintage, Ida still fits in with todays Avas, Mias & Co.
Ida would have a name that has a long history of usage and (to me) is not less of a ābig nameā than Florence, Annabel or Penelope. In fact, I would use Ida as a sister name to each of them.
A girl/women of any age could wear it effortlessly.
I could see past any jokes that might be made because of her name and donāt understand why many people see it so negatively.
Ida seems pretty perfect to me!
Btw, here in Germany Ida (pr. EE-da in German) is super popular.
