Help[Opinions] Re: Ida
in reply to a message by Puck
I hate Ida.
I think it's childish, has an ugly sound and it's whiney. that said, I'm in Sweden where Ida is a popular name in my generation and among kids. When I imagine an Ida in the US I see an elderly black woman. Maybe a stereotype? I dunno.
I prefer Iva. I had a co-worker at my previous job who had a daughter named Iva, and a son named Idris.
We’ve all got both light and dark inside us. What matters is the part we choose to act on. That’s who we really are.

Iva just makes me think of "intensivvårdsavdelning"(IVA) - intensive care unit.

Yeah, I think of that as well. But decided not to mention it as it won't matter outside Sweden :)
