Good morning from Germany!

Ida you'll spell as I-ndian, D-akota and A-mstrong.

Eda or Edda is a different Name!

With kind easter regards!

Jürgen Brandt

My mother's name was Ida Domres. I see that in the Lublin database, the
parish in which she was born, 156 girls were named Ida at their baptisms
and 116 with that given name died. It is a separate name from Edith
though I have seen people confuse the two.  And Rose pronounces it
correctly, although Americans pronounced it with a "long i."

  Other forenames in my family are names used earlier in the family. Ida
seems 
an anomaly in the family. Is it an abbreviation for a longer name?
