[Opinions] Saidah
What do you think of the name Saidah? (pronounce it SAY-duh). I also saw it today spelled Sada, and pronounced the same way. I think it can also be spelled Saida. It's Arabic for "fortunate."
My first child is a boy named Baylor. How would Saidah sound as a sister for Baylor?
Do you even like the name? Why or why not?

Are you sure it's not SY-EEDA? That would make more sense to me.
It's not bad, but I prefer Saideh (pronounced SAY-dee). I was friends with a girl named Saideh in highschool and that's how she said her name. I think they were Iranian. Beautiful name!
Saida has a nice meaning and it's strong enough to hold its own with Baylor. :)

I knew a girl named Saidah actually. But she said it sa-EED-ah, so I'd have to train myself out of that. I think it would be three syllables in Arabic though, since it has the apostrophe (Sa'idah).
Either way, it's pretty. I'm not sure it goes well with Baylor, which is all-American. Perhaps you could spell it Saydah, which would make pronunciation easier and be more in sync with Baylor's name.
