What do you think to Lydia? It’s the only name that I’ve suggested that DH likes. TIA xx

Love it. My favourite Bennett sister.

Lyvia is definitely a name. I heard it on the wonderful Inspector Montelbano. Sounds even better with an Italian accent and slightly bowed legs Smile.

It's gorgeous

Love Lydia. I think it’s quite a pretty but strong name.

Astronica · 05/01/2019 13:03

Lydia is good.

Emelene · 05/01/2019 12:58

Absolutely gorgeous. I would have used it if the -a sound didn't clash with our surname...

PaulHollywoodsSexGut · 05/01/2019 12:58

I like it a lot, weirdly feel the opposite about it to a PP, it’s a very very strong name although i associate it with goths (Lydia Lunch)

If I had a baby girl born 31st October I’d be very tempted

Lyvia is a very real Italian name! Like Cinzia or Chiara. It’s the name of Colin Firth’s wife, not made up at all 🙄.

WhatASmashingBlouse · 05/01/2019 12:53

I like Lydia but it does always seem a bit wet to me. Probably because I know one who is a bit of a drip.

Lyvia is awful and not a real name! It's Olivia.

Lyvia is awful.

daisypond · 05/01/2019 12:18

I like it a lot.

WhereHaveTheyGone12 · 05/01/2019 12:09

I love it! It’s our name for DC1 if it turns out to be a girl. Classic and underused - in my area anyway.

ShadyLady53 · 05/01/2019 12:02

I love it. It helps that I’ve only ever worked with adorable little Lydias!

m0therofdragons · 05/01/2019 12:02

Dd1 is Lydia and in year 6 at primary. She's the only one in her school of 500 dc. There are a couple of others in the area but older dc. I love it - classic, not overly used but not crazy either.

GreenTulips · 05/01/2019 11:58

Loads of them round here so quite popular

Starshapeddreams · 05/01/2019 11:58

I love it, it's on our list if DC is a girl

Disfordarkchocolate · 05/01/2019 11:56

Lydia and Lyvia are two of my favourite names. Both sophisticated.

MiriAmmerman · 05/01/2019 11:54

I like it - very sophisticated. Makes me think of the character in The Rivals, and of 'Love for Lydia'.
