I like Ida because it seems bossier, drier, more southern.
Ada is more sweet and pleasing.
Sweetness and pleasingness is important for feeling good and being okay, but bossy and dry and clever is essential for ADVANCEMENT and I am going to align myself with ADVANCEMENT.
Yes I am drawing philosophical conclusions out of slightly different phonemes. But what else could "why" mean in such a case? lol

Ada! It's sweet and feminine and would work for girls/ women of all ages.
Do you know the name Aïda?
I ask because it's a famous-ish opera, but I don't know how known it is to non-musicians.
Anyway it's pronounced eye-EE-duh (I say a schwa idk if BETTER people say it BETTER)

Yeah, the opera. It's a-EE-da. If I say it fast and sloppy Amerikun style it sounds like Ida... sorta. The word aisle for precedent.

Ada sounds like the sort of 19th-century character who spends her life fainting. Ada the Fader? Not a lot of personality in there.
Ida, pron. EYEda, does not please me either. I prefer it pronounced EEda (I was at school with a Joan-Ida who pronounced it like that; she'd been named after her mother and, I think, an aunt) but not enough to use.

I prefer Ada because it's a palindrome.
All right, someone else who has heard of Ida B. Wells. That's cool. :)
