Pronounced EYE-da, I don't much like it. A run-of-the-mill old lady. My instinct is to pronounce it EE-da, which is the pronunciation used in Poland.

(EE-da, YAN, EH-va).

Ida is fine tho I prefer Iva, both with a long I.

Not a fan, it feels very old ladyish and too short . It’s pronounced Ee-da in my language.

I love Ida. It was the name of one of my brownies around 7 years ago.

Ida is actually pretty. It’s not a name that I’d probably pick out of a hat. However, it does have some attractive qualities. I pronounce it as “eye-duh”.

For Ida, I would use Ida Marie (hey, it’s pretty). For a brother, I would use Lloyd Kenneth. For a sister, I would use Lea Jane (pronounced “lay-uh”).

I think of an old lady when I think of Ida. I pronounce it eye-da.

I like Ida (and prefer IE-da, EE-da sounds like “eater”) and I love Cora.

Ernest is nms. In this style I prefer Walter, Clement, Ferdinand or Virgil.

It's so art deco, imo. I like short, vintage names. I prefer EE-dah pronunciation.

Ida's always been on my list, but it's come to my attention more recently. I like it as ee-duh, because I prefer the sound (it feels more namey to me) and it has some good associations for me. It has a witchy, naturey vibe that I enjoy. Middles/siblings I'd go for:

Ida Tempest, Tabitha Autumn, & Sage Benjamin

I would pronounce it as ee-DUH, but IE-duh (eye-da) is pretty too, prefer it that ee-DUH. I like it because it's vintage, but I can't help but think about the hurricanes names Ida, and they all were destructive.

I think I would like to pair it as Ida Rosa, Ida Rose, Ida Lynn, or Ida Marie (sorry my style is so basic). Siblings would be Catherine Anne and Joseph Alexander.

Ida and Cora are nice. I don't like Ernest
