Veda - vay-dah

What do you think? Good, bad, ugly, different?

It means 'knowledge' in Sanskrit.

I love it. First heard it on the movie My Girl.

I like it. It's exotic and different without being kooky or completely unheard of.

I also like the meaning.

I wouldn't use it because it is what Hindus call their holy scriptures.

I would use Vada.

Agreed.

When I see Veda I automatically say VEEDA (the same goes for Vida). But when I see Vada I think VAYDA.

ditto. And all my Hindu friends pronounce it VEEDA.

There is always Vidya, which I think is lovely.

But Vidya is a totally different pronounciation than Veda or Vada...
