HelpRe: Opinions on Aydaleigh Sue (nn- Ayda)?
in reply to a message by Kmona
To be very honest, Aydaleigh looks like two, or maybe even three names pushed together to make up a new name. I wasn't sure whether to read the first two syllables to rhyme with "Ada" or "Ida". I think, from your pronunciation key, that you intend it to sound like Ida. Hope that's correct.
I think Ida, Leigh and Sue are all sweet names with pleasant sounds but, for me, the spelling of Aydaleigh is unappealing visually. I can only imagine the bearer of the name would find it frustrating to have other people forever butchering both the spelling and pronunciation. If a creative spelling is important to you, Idalee would be much easier to read/pronounce/spell, far more intuitive.
If I read you correctly, you like Ida but find it too short to go with your surname. Have you considered Idella or Idelle? I think these are lovely options, related to Ida, and could still be nicknamed "Ida". I think Idella Sue is just the bees knees! :)

Pronounced [aye-duh].. the first syllable sounding like saying the letter 'A' in the alphabet song. But I do really like your Ida names!! I will take those into consideration, thank you!

Whoops.. I got the pronunciation you wanted wrong in my response above!
If you like the letter A-sound, then my original suggestions above would give you that (expect the French Adelie... which is Ah-dell-ee).
Aida or Ada are the common names which correspond to your Ayda.
Adalie, Adalee, etc. . .
Adaleigh is probably the closes to the spelling you like. Though, I personally am not a fan of -leigh endings. It works though, since I know a woman named Annaleigh and she is quite a successful businesswoman.
