Which spelling do you prefer?

[Jasperlove]

Livia or Lyvia

I really like the Y in it, but I'm afraid people will pronounce it incorrectly.

I assume it’s pronounced like Olivia without the “O”?

If so I’d use the first spelling. If I saw Lyvia I’d think Lye-veea.

Lyvia also autocorrects to Lucia which might give the occasional issue.

Livia. It’s the original one and less confusing.

I like the Y - and it will be pronounced however you and Lyvia say it.

Livia

Livia

I’d say Livia. Lydia is a y though, and also very pretty.

Livia
Lyvia is a bit showey and looks foreign - not that that would be a bad thing, but could be quite confusing for her with nursery/friends ect. It also hurts my eyes so that’s probably why I don’t like the look of it

Livia, agree with pp the lyvia May end up being pronounced lyevia, also if shortened Liv is better than Lyv (pronounced live)

It makes me think of Clivia, the houseplant! But I think it's really nice. I prefer Livia.

Livia, absolutely.

Livia is a name with a lot of history. It'd be bizarre to misspell it.

The y and the v next to each other in Lyvia look odd. I prefer Livia.

Livia

We used a y in dd1 name that also could be an i as I like y's - but agree with a pp that the y and v close together doesn't look right.

Livia is a lovely name

Livia.

Livia.

No ys in Latin.

Livia. The letters V and Y look odd together IMO.

Looks like I'm on my own with liking the Y.

Though not so bad as Yvette has a Y and a V together too.

Livia, without a doubt.

Livia. Lyvia will need a clumsy curly y to join, try it , it looks awful, she will be stuck with an ugly signature for life.

Livia definitely. You/she will forever be correcting spelling and pronunciation otherwise.

The correct way - Livia.

I'd pronounce Lyvia as Lie-vee-a.

The correct way - Livia

Hate it when this tosh is trotted out. Like words and names don't evolve or only in Britain they shouldn't

I like the look of Lyvia but Livia would cause less hassle throughout DCs life with spelling and pronunciation

Y and V look weird together.

Livia is better.

Sounds like the lazy way of saying Olivia tho.
