Thea or Lydia?

[Choccywoccydoodah1999]

Can't decide between Thea Ivy or Lydia Ivy. Love both - which would you choose?

Lydia

Lydia Ivy sounds better IMO.

Two lovely names. Not keen on either with ivy. Kind of needs another name too.
For eg
Thea elizabeth ivy
Lydia Elizabeth ivy.
IMO.

They're both lovely; I marginally prefer Lydia.

Thea

Thea

Thea

Thea!!!!!

Lydia!

Thea definitely. More unusual than Lydia.

I love Thea. But I don't think it goes with Ivy particularly well.

Lydia.

Thea, but not with Ivy, I agree it needs a longer middle name!

Lydia.
Though I actually love Thea I just don't pronounce my 'th's well so I sound a bit fick

Think the two soft vowels at the end of Lydia or Thea don't work with Ivy, a consonant world work better e.g Thea Marie.
Much prefer Thea, except if you're in S Ldn, where it is pronounced "Fear".

Lydia
Lydia
Lydia!

Lydia!!!

I like both but agree that Ivy might not be the best fit, they don't have a very nice mouth feel!
Elizabeth works as does Marie suggested above.

Thea by miles!

Thea or Theodora Ivy but Thea for short

Lydia. Not keen on Thea.

Thea! I have a Thea and we get lots if compliments on it. I also know a horrible person called Lydia so that puts me off.

Ps am in south london and she never gets called fear.

Lydia, Thea doesn't sound like an actual name to me, sounds a bit harsh and not feminine.
Agree they dont go with Ivy though, Ivy is vintage, very unique, quirky, Thea and Lydia are not.

I prefer Lydia.

I don't think either name goes terribly well with Ivy (Coronation Street name), but neither are they no-nos together (is Ivy a relative you are honouring?)

I like Thea, Lydia and Ivy.
But names that end in a vowel don't run well into names that begin with a vowel, IMO.
Or rather they run together as if one long name joined an invisible 'r'. TheaRivy, LydiaRivy.

I love them all!

I think Lydia Ivy.

Lydia! There are so many Theas!
