I can't say I've ever known an Adelaide personally, much less heard of one called "Ada". I think your point is valid and I certainly didn't take your comment as an effort just to put down an idea. But "Ada" does actually sound natural to my ear, despite having no real-life example to offer and despite it being a well-known stand-alone name. Presumably, some other folks in the world might hear it/feel it as I do, too. Perhaps I ought to have addressed my comment directly to the OP. My apologies if you felt attacked; wasn't my intention. :)
