I think the reason this isn't more popular is because it was a forerunner of names like Ada, Ava, and Isla; kind of like Deborah (or Debra), an Old Testament girls' name that was the forerunner of names like Delilah (and, also that was so popular in its time that few want to try it now). Ida was so popular in its time, that it is "stuck" there. I'd give it another generation or two for it to find its footing once again.
