[Opinions] Re: Name of the Day
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.
