Perhaps an Aardvark would be a better choice. If you remove enough
letters, you end up with Ada.
An Aardvark is both an unusual creature, and somewhat endearing.
Plus they eat bugs, which is a good quality for the mascot.
Also "Ada the Aardvark" flows nicely off the tongue. I wouldn't be
surprised if Ada is a name that people commonly give to their Aardvarks. :-)
It also helps that in the world of mascots, an Aardvark mascot likely is
the one at the top of the list, if the list is sorted.
