I shouldn't have read the replies first because now I don't know.  I think my first instinct was Aid-uh, but now I think maybe Add-uh.

AID-uh.

Because I passed first grade phonics.

The same name with an "m" at the end, instead of a "h", is not AID-um.

Exactly.

I also passed first grade phonics and I would not have known for sure how to say the name because I have not seen it before.

AID-uh is what we're going for, thanks guys.

Adah was the second women mentioned in the Bible, after Eve. She was Lamech's wife, and thought by Bible scholars to be the woman who brought music & worship into the home.

We want all our children to have Bible names, and we're not a fan of hardly any girl names . We love Sarah, but I have a cousin named that, as well as a close friend.

This.  The "h" is silent (and not needed at all, IMO) so it would be pronounced like Ada. (AID-a)
