Oh Ada Lovelace, so very... steampunk. She's such a great namesake and it's such a great name, so neat and palindromic and thoroughly feminine without being at all frilly. I keep forgetting about it, but I do love it so.
Ida is almost as good, it's got a kind of goddessy elegance and yet there's that song - 'sweet as apple cider' which makes me imagine it on a farmgirl, too. I prefer the eye-da pronunciation, it's less modern.
