My reply would be yes and yes. :) I think Ada/Addie is adorable (and avoids using the trendy Addison). Go for it!

*edited to add: I just read the other posts, and wanted to add that I think using Addie is ok because a nn doesn't have to necessarily be a shortened form of a longer name, but can sometimes be more of a diminutive form (ie. "childhood" version) or just more of a term of endearment. Think Stevie for a boy named just Steve, Molly for Mary, Annie for Ann, etc. HTH! :)
Aid-a would be the way I would pronounce it. I like Addie as a nickname. I also like the choice of naming her something like Adele and calling her Addie. Either way, I like them all! Theresa

A nickname is supposed to be a shorter way of saying the longer more formal name. It doesn't make sense to have Addie as a nickname for Ada. JMHO.

I pronounce Ada "Aid-a," but I think you could use Addie as a nn if you like. That said, there are other of Ad- names that aren't the trendy Addison-
Adele, Adelle
Adela
Adelaide
Adeline
Adara
(Adrienne, Adrianne, Adriana)
I really love the name Adele- it's very grown-up, but Addie makes it kid-friendly!

Andrea

I say Ada
