Re: Ida
My gm was named Ida (long i sound) and I absolutely hated her name. Your pronunciation is heaps better if people would consistently use it. My gm's name was Ida Lillian which has a nice flow to it.Other suggestions:Ida Susanna
Ida Margaret, Ida Marguerite
Ida Penelope (livens up Ida)
Ida Rosalie
Ida Veronica
Ida Claire (just kidding!)

I think people would learn to use it if corrected once or twice. I'm not sure I'd ever use it IRL, but that would be my hope for sure!Ida Lillian is very sweet. Now that I think of it, my great grandma's name was Idella (eye-DELL-ah). That's pretty ugly but I guess charming in its own way, haha.Ida Veronica is something I thought about vaguely the other day, thanks for the reminder! Strong and beautiful for sure.
