I love it. Ada is one of my favorite names and 'Mina' is my daughter's nickname so I might be a bit biased. ;)

I think it's beautiful. It seems less harsh than some other feminine forms of masculine names, such as Roberta. It also lends itself to the nicknames Addie, Ada, and Mina, all of which I like.

I love it. I just find it quirky and super-cute. They potential nicknames--Ada, Addie, and Mina--make me like it even more.

I love its unapologetic clunk.

I've recently added it to my long list. Because I kept having Madamina from Don Giovanni stuck in my head, and Adamina reminds me of it. So it's all musical and fancy and fun.

Although the -ina makes it feminine, it doesn't sound right to me. I just see Adam and think of the boys name.

It makes me think of the word "adamant"

I go through cycles with Adamina. Sometimes I think it's so delicate and pretty and so surprising that's it's just the feminine of Adam (which I don't really like), and then other times all I see is ADAM + ina and it looks clunky and forced.

I feel the latter way at the moment, but it has its charms, of course.
