[Opinions] Re: Ida vs. Ada
Ada. I think because Ada Lovelace - and because I just haven't encountered Ida, except in Ore-Ida and in fake pun-names like Ida Klein. Also I don't really like the look of Ida. I'd rather it were spelled Aida.- mirfak

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.
