Lydia or Zara?
My husband likes one and I like the other.

Zara

Zara.

Lydia sounds too much like Chlamydia imo Grin. Also dislike someone with that name, so its put me off.

Zara
But probably because I knew a Lydia I didn’t like

nocluenoidea · 18/12/2018 20:42

Zara
Lydia sounds like a sanitary product

Bringbackthestripes · 18/12/2018 20:39

Zara - I know someone spelt Zahra but also like Zarah.

Lydia

Toffeeandyawns · 18/12/2018 20:33

Zara but for some reason I prefer the spelling Zarah... I think it seems less harsh. I don’t normally like to shove in extra letters but for Zarah I just would.

Zara

GreenMeerkat · 18/12/2018 20:14

I prefer Lydia

meow1989 · 18/12/2018 20:14

Zara

Much prefer Lydia.

I don't think Zara is very interesting and just makes me think of the clothes shop.

Lydia is different and unusual without being too out there.
