Vada

in Baby Names

So were not pregnant yet.. just fantasizing about future baby names.

I am really liking Vada lately. I love how its short and sweet and not very popular. And yes like the movie "My Girl". It was one of my favourite movies growing up and I still love it, is it really that bad to name a child after a movie character? 

I am a little concerned that the name may not be the easiest to spell or pronounce. I was also considering the spelling Veda. Ive also seen Vayda but Im not sure what I think about this spelling yet.

What do you think, will this be a difficult name for a child to have? Do you like it?

    I looked up the name on behindthename.com and Vada wasn't listed, so most likely the correct spelling is Veda.

    Its a great name though! Beautiful, yet underused, can't get better!

    VEDA
    GENDER: Feminine
    USAGE: Indian
    OTHER SCRIPTS: ???? (Hindi)
    Meaning & History
    Means "knowledge" in Sanskrit.

    I would pronounce Vada Vah-dah.  I much prefer Veda.  I think it's a VERY pretty name.  I would consider it but it sounds weird with Nina.  But, very pretty.

    I love My Girl and love the name! I'd go with Veda. Definitely not Vayda/Veyda.

    Love Veda (spelled this way)! It's on my list, as well!

    I actually forgot about My Girl, and my mind immediantly went to Darth Vadar.

    I love this name. I just wish DH was onboard.  I know they spelled it Vada in the movie, but I would go with Veda.  I think it is prettier.

    Ha. Yes. And this is from someone who named her son Luke.

    All spelling versions are way way too close to "Vader" for me.  I'd be humming the theme song from Empire Strikes Back every time I saw the kid.

    Agree. And Vada looks like vadar, as in Darth. I can see the appeal of this name. It's not my fav but I give it a thumbs up.

    Ha yes, this was my first thought too. Darth Vada (pronounced Boston style, of course).

    That aside, I think it's pretty, and I like that it's unusual.

    I love that name too!  My husband said no because it sounds like Beta (fish).  Now that's all I can think of when I hear it.  He also shot down Carys because it sounds like carrots:)  He keeps ruining perfectly good names for me.
