My gm was
Ida Lillian and her mother was
Ida Belle. I never really cared for my gm so maybe that's why I don't really care for
Ida. I don't know; it just doesn't sound pleasant to my ears.
Re:
Rose and
Maeve, I adore those two names. I suppose
Ida could fit but I see something along the lines of
Ruby or
Cora complementing those two. BTW,
Ruby was my mother's sister who died in infancy and
Cora was the name of another ggm. ;-)
