Adah
How would you pronounce the name Adah? Ay-dah or Ah-dah? Do you think most people will say Ay-dah? And do you like it?Sarah -

Instinctively when I saw this I pronounce it Ah-da but looking at it again I saw it as Ay-da. Though I suspect it's because I never thought of pronouncing it as Ay-da until I read this and I like the sound of it better.

The same as Ada? I'd go for Ada tbh, I know Adah's a different name technically but the final h feels superfluous.

AY-daI like it. I prefer the spelling Ada though. The 'h' seems a bit superfluous to me- because Ada is the more familiar spelling, the 'h' seems unnecessary.

I say AY-da, it's the only pronunciation I've heard in use. I generally prefer the Ada spelling but I absolutely do like Adah.
