Having a love affair with the name Alida right now. Sometimes nn Ida!

I was thinking of Alida Jane. What middle name would you pair with Alida?

My great-grandmother was called Alida. Anna Alida. My grandmother was called Alida Margareta. I think Alida is a lovely name.

This is a new name for me. I have never come across Alida before. How are you pronouncing it? It's a German name therefore should be pronounced ah-LEE-dah, however I pronounce Ida as EYE-da.

Alida Wilhelmine
Alida Madelief
Alida Helena
Alida Jacoba
Alida Cathrin
Alida Nicola
Alida Charlotte
Alida Irene
Alida Ulrike
Alida Margit
Alida Barbara

Thanks! I much prefer to pronounce Ida like EE-da, though that's tough in the US, so I think Alida is a nice transition.

And thanks for your suggestions. Alida Maude and Alida Cathrin are my favorites.

It's nice! I can't think of anything to go with it at this time though.

I like Alida. Alida Jane is cute. But, no. Not Ida. Ugh! I hate it! I'd go with Alida Corey

I would pronounce Alida ah-LEE-dah and Ida EYE-dah. Are you pronouncing Ida EE-dah?

Alida Jane is pretty sweet, actually.

Alida Janae
Alida June
Alida Fern
Alida Rae
Alida Romilly
Alida Camille

Yeah, I pronounce Ida EE-da. I know in the US that would be tough, so I think Alida nn Ida might fly a little easier. :)

and thank you! Really liking Alina Fern.

Edit: Alida Fern! lol
