Help[Opinions] Re: Ida
in reply to a message by Puck
I'm not too keen on Ida. It sounds kind of unintelligent (maybe it's the "duh" sound?_ and "down home" country, as someone else mentioned, when it is applied to a girl or young woman. That said, I could almost see the appeal on an infant and can easily picture it on an old woman.
I met an Ida once while volunteering. She's probably in 8th grade now, so...about 14? She wore her hair in a bun on the top of her head with a giant, cartoonish bow.
I'm kind of enjoying the EE-duh pronunciation people have mentioned.
And despite not being a fan of Ida itself, I appreciate Ida Frances, Ida Josephine, and maybe even Ida Virginia.
Combos...um...Ida Martine. Ida Beatrice / Ida Beatrix. Ida Renee. Ida Zephyrine. Ida Helene / Ida Helena.
