I say the name Ada as AY-da. I like it as a full name.
I don't feel like it makes enough sense as a nickname for Adelaide.
I could see Aidi(e) "Ay-dee" as a nick for Adelaide, because the Aid syllable is emphasized, but adding an A to that seems artificial to me, esp. since Ada is a name.
Ada "add-a" for Adelaide would not work very well either, IMO, because Addie exists, and it just seems weird, like calling Abigail (even Abagail) "Aba".
