Thoughts on the names [name_f]Adabelle[/name_f] and [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]?
[name_f]Adabelle[/name_f]- I like the name [name_f]Ada[/name_f] and I think it seems like a more modern variation of [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]- I’m not sure what it is about the name [name_f]Ida[/name_f] but I like it. Does it sound to old or is it ok? Should [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] be a double barreled name ([name_f]Ida[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f]) or a first and middle name ([name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f])?
*I’m not considering these names as sibling names, just each name individually
I think [name_f]Ida[/name_f] is a wonderful name: a spunkier, less used sister of the [name_f]Ada[/name_f] / [name_f]Ava[/name_f] family. I personally prefer [name_f]Ida[/name_f] as a first and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] as a middle, it just seems sleeker to me, because I think [name_f]Ida[/name_f] stands so beautifully on her own, a double barrelled name doesn’t do her justice and let her shine.
I can see the appeal of [name_f]Adabelle[/name_f], but be aware everyone will either think it is [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f], [name_f]Amabel[/name_f] or [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f].
Honestly [name_f]Adabelle[/name_f] looks like misspelled [name_f]Arabelle[/name_f] to me. And I’ve never quite seen the appeal of [name_f]Ada[/name_f], it sounds very dated to me.
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is so sweet, I’d prefer it as seperate names rather than double barreled.
I’m not a fan of [name_f]Adabelle[/name_f] but [name_f]Ada[/name_f] is lovely.
As a double first name, [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] sounds backwoods country but I do love [name_f]Ida[/name_f] and [name_f]Mae[/name_f] on their own.
I think I’d prefer [name_f]Idabelle[/name_f] to [name_f]Adabelle[/name_f]. [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] (as first & middle) could be cute, but to me seem awfully short.
[name_f]Adabelle[/name_f] looks a bit awkward to me, it makes me unsure whether to say [name_f]Ada[/name_f]-belle or [name_m]Add[/name_m]-a-belle, like [name_f]Adeline[/name_f]/[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Ida[/name_f], and I think [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is really sweet. I prefer it as either a double barreled first name (no hyphen), or as a nickname based on a longer M middle name. [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Maybelle[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Maple[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Maren[/name_f], etc.
[name_f]Adabelle[/name_f]-I love this name.It’s girly and classic.I would rather do [name_f]Adabella[/name_f].
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]-NMS(not my style)I don’t know why but I just never liked [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f].If I would do it I would first and middle name not [name_f]Ida[/name_f]-[name_f]Mae[/name_f] but [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f].
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] and [name_f]Ada[/name_f] seem like 1930’s farm country names. Nothing wrong with that, but [name_f]Annabelle[/name_f] (while not my style) seems more modern and upscale than [name_f]Adabelle[/name_f]. I actually have a Midwestern 1930’s era relative named [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]. (along w/[name_f]Anna[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f], [name_f]Bessie[/name_f] [name_f]Edda[/name_f], etc)
I don’t like [name_f]Adabelle[/name_f], in my accent it sounds like “At a bell”. It reminds me of praising a dog, “Atta girl” “Atta belle”. Sorry:(
And I’ve never liked the name [name_f]Ida[/name_f], just doesn’t sound very pretty to me. The middle name [name_f]Mae[/name_f] is cute, but when I say the full name, “[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]” out loud it sounds like one word, one name, or a different language. I don’t like them, I’m sorry:(
Thank you for all the replies! I think I agree about [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f] being first and middle not double barrelled. And I really like the suggestion of [name_f]Idabelle[/name_f] What do you guys think of [name_f]Idabelle[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]?
