Lydia or Alicia?

[Tea1Sugar]

I'm very early days but have always loved these names. Which do you prefer? Middle name would be Rose after my grandma.

Lydia Rose
Alicia Rose (pronounced al-iss-ee-ya definitely not al-ee-sha)

Dd is Chloe

Lydia

Lydia

Lydia

Tough. Lydia was our runner up name for dd1 so I thought we'd use it for dd2. We ended up with Alice :) I'd say Lydia. I kind of regret that we didn't use that.

Lydia, but then I'm biased.

Lydia.

We have a lot of Lydia's in our family. I really love this name.

But Alicia close to my heart too because she was a character in Malory Towers.

Maybe go with Lydia if the 'Aleesha' pronunciation annoys you as I think you will have to correct people about how you want it pronounced, might get a bit frustrating... But both are really lovely names

Go with Lydia. No one will ever pronounce Alicia the correct way. My relation has even had arguments with colleages that they pronounce it wrong! Al ee see ah. I prefer Alicia btw.

Lydia.

Alicia - this is my DD3 (al-iss-ee-ya) and yes she does get annoyed when it is pronounced wrong but we still love it!

Lydia

Another vote for Lydia. There's too much scope for Alicia to be mispronounced (I'd have said Al-ee-si-ah), and I think Chloe and Lydia sound lovely together.

Lydia

or

Would you consider Sylvia??

Alicia, it would never have occurred to me to pronounce it wrong.

Alicia - my mum's name. But she does get all sorts of spellings and pronounciations. (Hers is Al-ee-si-ah the Bluestars way).

(But def not Alicia Rose if your surname is Smith, or similar!)

I love Lydia and it goes very well with Rose for mn

Alicia.

I like Lydia but can never get past a former schools friend calling her sister Lydia Chlmydia when she was feeling spiteful.

Ruined the name for me.

Alicia

I like Alicia, but don't like the ambiguity over pronunciation, so definitely Lydia for me.
