There are also plenty of places named "Ada" in the US. I once stopped in 
Idaho to take a picture of "Welcome to Ada County" (I remember someone asked 
to add it to their collection of Ada pictures.) My 6th grade teacher was 
from Ada Wisconsin, and in fact that is where my Dad gets his apples pressed 
into cider each year. ("Ada - unincorporated" in front of a tiny cluster of 
houses is not a picture we need in the Ada gallery - one doesn't even need 
to slow down for Ada.)
