Have you ever wondered why your parents chose that name ?
What's the meaning of your name ?
Me? Zubaidah means excellent (Arabic/Urdu)! A perfect name chosen by my parents.
Aida, the name I often introduce myself, reminds many of Aiida, the Ethiopian princess in Giuseppe Verdi's opera. It also means reward or present (Arabic) and Happy !! (Italian origin- so says wiki)
What about google-ing images with your name? It can be exciting and delightfully amusing !
Without a doubt, most of the images as I expected were from the musical Aida. This includes posters from Verdi's original opera (1908) as well as several other adaptions. Such as Elton John and Tim Rice's adaptation produced by Disney Theatrical opened in 2000.

The surprise was however a cruise ship named Aida. She was built by Kvaerner Masa-Yards, Turku, Finland and was completed for Deutsche Seetouristik/Arkona Reisen in 1996 with 1186 berths with engines giving a service speed of 21 knots. "Aida was designed for the German market, and specifically for younger generation members of this market". The red hot lips and design of this cruise ship is definitely wacky !
