Re: Opinions on Aydaleigh Sue (nn- Ayda)?
in reply to a message by Kmona
Well, I will try not to be too harsh - but that spelling is just aweful. It really is. Adelie / Adalie is such a beautiful name that I almost cringe when I see such spellings. Ayda is workable, since it is so short, but I still want to strongly recommend that you go with Adelie, Adalie, or Ada, Aida. It just conveys a lot more class.
Sue is totally fine with it though. I like Sue. I prefer Susan, but I have a lot of love for nicknames-turned-names, especially in the middle spot. I think they give any combo a quirky feel.

I like your options, but the beginning of those are pronounced as [ah-duh] I believe and we prefer the pronunciation [aye-duh].. I will think on this though! Thank you for your input

I guess I am confused on how to describe pronunciations. ah - is like ahhh to me (like ah, ha!)
aye - is like ay to me (like hay)
Ai - would be eye, as in the name Ida.
I believe you are saying that you like the last pronunciation. In which case, I would never have said that given the spelling Aydaleigh.
Idalee would be the closest to the pronunciation, though I am not sure that is a real name. It looks pretty though.

How about Adia? It means gift, has the prn. you are looking for (ay-dee-uh) and could easiey have Ada (aye-duh) as a nickname, plus it's a legit name with a simple spelling :)
