Help[Opinions] Name of the Day
I had a brownie called Ida around 10 years ago and she started brownies on her 7th birthday. I like the name as I have positive associations with it. WDYT?

I like Ida, due for a comeback. I also like Iva.
I love it. It's fashioned yet adorable and I think it deserves a comeback, or at least a slight resurgence. It would fit right in with a lot of other names too. I think both pronunciations are beautiful, but I'm more partial to the I-da one. 🙂
I love EE-da, but not EYE-da. It's intense, charcoal grey, soulful.
I really want to like it. It sounds strong and no-nonsense. But all I hear is, "I'd a/uh..." I think if I met someone with the name who was under 40 I might be swayed to like it.
I think Ida is a strong name for three letters. I like it but I do prefer Ada.
The only issue is pronunciation. English speakers say "EYE-duh". Many countries in Europe pronounce it as "EE-dah".

I was at school with a Joan-Ida, named after her mother and an aunt. The aunt pronounced it EE-dah, and my friend was forever correcting people. Nowadays she's settled on Joan, which makes life much quieter.
My husband has an aunt named Ida. I like her and the name.
Your great grandma has a badass name! Fantastic
I think Ida is a great name, and I’m really hoping it makes a comeback soon!
I love Ida! I've never met one.
I have a cousin named Ida. I vacillate between liking it and thinking it's a bit old-fashioned, but it's not a bad name.
I like it, was an aunt's mn and a G grandmother name
