How do you feel about these middle names for Ada?

I've been loving the simple sound of Ada lately. It goes really well with our last name and is very simple and is much less popular than similar names like Ava, Emma, Anna, etc. What do you think of these middle names with it? Sorry in advance if the formatting sucks mobile bumping

Ada Lisa given priority unless the flow totally sucks, Lisa was my late mom's name
Ada Elise related to my moms name, and I love that the combo sounds like Adelweiss
Ada Elisabeth
Ada Josephine brother, with whom I am very close, is Joseph
Ada Katherine
Ada Joan Joan is my Grandma's name

Thoughts? Suggestions? Favorites?

For flow/sound alone I like Ada Elisabeth.

I think that meaning trumps flow though so my vote is for Ada Lisa.

Lisa isn't my favorite name, but I love the meaning it has to you. Basically I think any of these work. If I wasn't considering meaning at all, I'd probably pick Ada Josephine. 

Also, I love Ada. It is so sweet, and it's a family name on DH's side so it is a contender for us as well.

I like Ada Lisa, especially considering the significance.

I do not like Ada Elise...seems hard to say when I sy it out loud.

I love Ada Elise. Ada is my great grandmother's name.

I'm toying with Ava Michelle...as I have grown quite fond of Ava.

And I thought the opposite.  I like its flow and tie in to your mom's name but think it's a slightly better cadence than Lisa.  Ada Lisa seems a little sing-songy like Mona Lisa. That said, I'm starting to agree that meaning trumps all else and if Lisa is the most meaningful, go with it.

My daughter's name is Ada, so.... I'm definitely bias, especially since her name is Ada Elizabeth. That's my vote! haha

I like the sound of Ada Josephine.  I think that Ada Lisa sounds fine, too.

Ada Lisa reminds me of Mona Lisa, but it doesn't really bother me due to the significance.  I also like Ada Joan.

You always mention wanting to honor your mother and worry about using variations so I think you should go for it. 

Ada Lisa is pretty!

I like Ada Josephine and Ada Katherine the best, but I understand wanting to use Lisa for its significance.

First off, I love the name Ada.

I really like Ada Elise but I wouldn't worry much about flow. If you want to use Ada Lisa, do it!

We're using 2 names that don't really flow well for LO's name and I don't care! We picked what we loved and are sticking by it.
