Naming baby girl

Did a handful of homework for baby's name by going through numerous websites and books. Many websites were really helpful but didn't have what I have in mind.

Few websites that I personally prefers:


I wanted a name that is simple and easy to pronounce, and something that will bring out our girl's character since one always says it's a name that makes a person. I wanted something really out of the ordinary but it's not easy to have a unique name yet can't be too fanciful in case it gets mispronounced most of the times or too trendy to have a classmate with the same name in time to come.

Came across many beautiful names such as Isabella, Sophie, Casey, Dawn, Emma, Faith and the list can just go on and on. Kinda decided on Ada upon coming across the name for a few times but prefers to look around for more names and shortlisted Jodie, Leah, Jolyn, Eslyn, Annabelle, Amber and Ashlyn eventually.

Although it was nothing out of the ordinary, Ada caught my first attention as it was simple and sounds secured. Liang prefers Jodie most and was top of his list. Can't remember why he voted for Jodie, perhaps it sounds friendly and sweet. After-all, Jodie Koh sounds as good as Ada Koh and the rest of the names just came by through researches and fell nicely onto the shortlisting page.

It was through a random conversation that we decided on Ada after putting the topic to a stop for a while. Both of us felt comfortable with the name and didn't want to complicate the decision-making process too much by adding on more names, ADA was hence selected for our dear baby girl!

Meaning of Ada comes in a variation and babyzone.com depicts as the following:



In a summary, may our first daughter be prosperous, happy, beautiful and adorned!!!
