First rule of Name Club, solicit advice from NO ONE!!

Second rule of Name Club, if anybody offers their unsolicited advice tell them to kindly go fuck themselves.

Third rule of Name Club, if anybody has a problem with the name you've chosen similarly you must tell them to go fuck themselves. Please note: If the person who has a problem with your name is family you must tell them to go fuck themselves twice.

Fourth rule of Name Club: Make it something that phonetically looks like it's spelled and do not use any strange or unanticipated spellings. Yes, it may stifle your creativity, however, your child will thank you from having to explain for the rest of his or her life how to spell his or her name AND always be able always be able to locate a keychain at the gift shop with his or her name on it.

Fifth rule of Name Club: The child is going to hate and resent you for whatever name you've chosen anyway so don't sweat it. New parents, this is one of the small things you don't have to sweat.

*If twins DO NOT get cute with ruining their lives with rhyming names or other similar stupidity.

It's a simple name, perhaps too simple. Kids like to call each other by their nickname, usually a shortened form of their name, and Ida/Eda doesn't shorten. Kids would probably create a nickname for her, and that may not be a nice one.

As a parent of 3, I learned early on, advice from others, that it's important to think how the child will carry their name when they get older.

I think it's a good name for an older person but for a younger person, it sounds a little too classic and I prefer a more modern name like Sarah or Tory.

it's okay, it sounds a bit dated, but who cares what others think honestly. it could be worse.

It's not bad, but it's a bit out of date... I don't think I've known anyone under 50 with that name.

Ida was mentioned as the name of a fictional distant galaxy in the TV series stargate sg1

Honestly it sounds like an old person’s name. But that’s up to you as well as the mother and father, not me or everyone else that is answering. Just my input.

In my country Ida means happiness, peace, knowledge. But that kinda old name, like 90s baby.

I did a little research on Google and learned that the name "eda" is Turkish. Oh dear, what a nightmare. I bet you didn't know that

[Asker]

I thought it's Germanic. Like in the Scandinavia, or some parts of Germany, it's being used

My paternal grandmother's name was Ida Bell Brooks; she was born in 1880. In short, Ida is the prototypical old broad's name.

[LiamJHayden]

It sounds old to me, but perhaps that is because I know an 80+ year old "Ida."

[RavVid]

Eda doesn't sound good to me. Ida is more femme
