Electra - sounds like an assumed name of a stripper or dominatrix
Lydia - makes me think of a lovely little girl in DSs class with this name. It is 'safe'. Wouldn't use if in Scotland though 'cos the way many people say 'Lid of a' sounds just like Lydia. Same reason I would use Nathan in Scotland because it sounds like the way some of us say 'Nothing'
