The last time this name even charted was in 1984 at #949. After that, it dropped off the face of the earth...which surprises me, since I thought it would be more popular due to names like Ada, Ava, and Isla enjoying their time in the sun.
So, I wonder why Ida isn't more popular? It's simple, sweet, and versatile; I can just as easily see it on a little girl as I can on an old woman. Any ideas?
If you dislike the name, that's okay. In fact, an explanation might solve the mystery for me. :)
