I was so excited! I was introduced to this elderly lady, as "This is my mother, Aida." I beamed, "Aida? Like the opera?" This lady was so pleased that not only did I prn her name correctly, but that I was even aware of the opera! She told me that years ago, she had been a professional opera singer, so we sat and chatted about our favorite operas. :oD

I do happen to like the name Adah (that spelling), too, so I don't think I would be horribly irritated if people misprn my (hypothetical) DD Aida's name as Adah. And usually, if you correct people once, twice, or three times, they eventually get it right. ;o)
