I already have an Lydia. Love Ophelia but is it too samey with the ‘ia’ ending?

My nieces are Delilah and Ophelia. I wouldn’t worry about it Grin

I love Ophelia, but it's quite long for an 'everyday' name - do you have a shortening or nickname in mind? I knew an Ophelia who was known as 'Cece', which of course is nothing like Lydia.

They both have the same feel to me, but they aren't too similar.

No, not too similar at all. If you're worried about it though you could go for Orla as an alternative.

Nice names :)
