I'm under the impression that Adelaida is pronounced AH-del-EYE-da (-ah-EE-da). So Aida (EYE-da; ah-EE-da) would be the natural nickname, and Ada (AY-da) would not really work. I could see Adelaide nn Ada, because Adelaide has the English prn with AYD at the end. I don't like the way Adelaida sounds if you prn it Addle-Ayda. But I like Adelaida, and Ada. I don't really care for Adelaide because of the sound like addle-aid or add-a-laid.
