I am thinking of naming my first daughter Giada because it's beautiful and uncommon. I am not sure which pronunciation to use. Either (ja-dah) or (jee-a-dah).
Hi,I just named my daughter Giada Vianne. And the proper pronounciation is jah-dah. Sometimes the announcers on foodnetwork say it incorrectly (probably because they are just reading the cues), luckily everyone on Giada's D.'s show says it correctly. To hear it pronounced go here: http://forvo.com/word/giada/
One warning though ... everyone I have told her name to, always either asks twice or fumbles it a couple times. So be patient with them ... I still love the name!!Hi!, My first daughter was born January 2009...and I named her Giada!, I love the name because it's so unique and uncommon..and like the person who commented before..it is pronounced jah-dah...and people do fumble it alot...but thats ok!, they learn eventually :)

Commentary on the name Giada:
The Italian form of Jade, Giada was virtually unknown in the U.S. until Italian-born chef Giada De Laurentiis hit the Food Network. Parents quickly picked up on the name as a stylish alternative to both Jada and Gianna. (It's gotten hot in Italy, too.) The Italian pronunciation is two syllables.
