[Opinions] Re: Aida???WDYT???
in reply to a message by IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
I'd say ie-EE-da.
I think of the opera, and no doubt I'll be tormenting my colleagues all day by whistling the Grand March! Celeste Aida ... some wonderful music in there. And then there was a journalist called Aida Parker who used to write a vicious right-wing newsletter years ago. Not good! And I also think of aida cloth, which some people like to use for cross-stitch, though I find it unappealing and stay with canvas or linen.
I wouldn't expect to see it often, as a given name, and I don't like it much. Too close to Ida, perhaps?
