I think Ada is a great, neglected name. For a long time I thought it would take off in popularity because it is similar to other, more-popular names. I pronounce it AID-ah. Sorry, but I'm not very good at creating combos.

I think Ada is lovely and a name I would consider using in the future if I had a DD. Ada Florence is my fave combo and was my maternal great-great grandmother's name. I have always thought the combo was so pretty. My paternal great-grandmother's name was Ada Grace, which is also beautiful. As you can see, it's a name from the family tree on both sides, so that's why I would consider using it. I pronounce the name as "AY-da", like Ava, but with a D instead of a V obviously. As for other combos, I like:

I would pronounce it Ah-dah. I really like this name, it is both pretty and timeless.
Some middle name suggestions are:
Ada Elizabeth
Ada Louise
Ada Nicole
Ada Diane

I like it better in English than in Swedish. As Caprice wrote below it is so connected to "Kal and Ada"-jokes/stories and I happen to have grown up in Gothenburg...

I know a little Ada in Georgia, her sister's name is Ivy.

My personal preference is Ada ('AY-də') as a nickname for Adelaide - I love both names so it's a bonus.

As far as middle names go, I think you can do almost anything because it's so simple.

In Swedish it's pronounced AH-duh. I think it's a bit too old-fashioned and in Sweden people tell jokes about "Kal and Ada from Gothenburg" (Kal being the Gothenburg dialect pr. of Karl, it's not really spelled like that), it's a bit like the Ole and Lena jokes in America, I think.
OTOH, I kind of like the English pronounciation AY-da. It makes me think of "The Piano", which I liked (and I love the music).

I really like Ada, its a nice alternative to Ava which really bores me because I see it so much in my job.

---

I'd pronounce it Ay-der. Aidan for a girl nn Ada is a bit of a guilty pleasure for me, however it can definitely work as a stand alone name

---

I really like Ada Bronwen :)

---

I like it. It's simple and sweet. I pronounce it AY-duh.

I pronounce it ay-dah (ay rhymes with hay)

---

I really like it. I was honestly surprised that it hasn't boomed yet as an alternative to Eva and Ava. I still think it will. It's a little more sophisticated than Ava in my opinion, but still retains the short and sweet charm of those simple names.

---

Ada Irene was a combo I had on my list a long time ago.

---

But, I also like:
Ada Giselle
Ada Claire
Ada Marie
Ada Lisette
Ada Frigg
Ada Beatrice
