Lydia...?

[newmomma]

I love it on its own - I'm just not sure it goes with our surname.

Surname rhymes with Olivia (so that's out then!) But begins with an 'S'.

Your thoughts please...??

I LOVE Lydia. So pretty.

Lydia Slivia?? No.

But Lydia is gorgeous and strangely underused.

It's not Slivia, it just rhymes with Olivia!!

Oh, bugger I might as well just put it - it's
SIVYER - pronounced SIV-EE-ER (french origin)

I love Lydia so much - so does DH, we'd be gutted to think it wouldn't go. Olivia Sivyer is just pushing it one step too far though.

I love Lydia, but a rhyming name? not sure...

x posts.

That's not too much of a rhyme. Sounds lovely to me

I immediately think Chlamydia. Sorry

I ADORE the name Lydia. It is completely beautiful and there are not many of them out there at the moment! DD has a friend age 12 with this name, but I don't know of any others at all. Wasn't there a TV program a long time ago called "Love for Lydia"?

Ooh - never heard of "Love for Lydia"! I'll google it...

• Hadn't thought of Chlamydia...

I love the name Lydia. My son was going to be either Sylvie or Lydia.
Does your sur name also end in 'ia'? That doesn't sound great. Lydia Solivia?

Hmmm Lydia Sieve eee Ay.

That is not great. Would advise against.

But if it's Lydia Sieve eee ER

That is much better. That would get a yes vote.

It ends in 'er' like pet'er', or lyd'ia'... not 'ay'...

Siv-ee-er

The two names do sound the same at the end.

Lydia is a lovely name but yes, the ending is very similar to your surname.

i love it and on my list if i have another dd

I love it, but it does sound odd with your surname. I think that names ending in a are all going to sound a bit odd, especially 3 -syllable ones

DD is Lydia and we always get complimented on her name, except my mum who hates it.

I think it goes ok with your surname.

I love Lydia. In fact, I am putting it on my shortlist I think it sounds slightly odd with your surname, but notso much it would be a deal breaker if you absolutely love it IMO.

Lydia is gorgeous!

Have you met Lydia?

Sorry, I couldn't resist. I do like the name however!

Lydia is quite a popular name round here; know at least 4 or 5 under 8s called Lydia. (If that bothers you)

Not sure on the first name and surname having the ia sound. They are very similar soundin to me and not keen on rhyming names personally.

I've got one, we call her Kitty though!

I have a Lydia - I loved 'Love for Lydia'. (Next door neighbours have a granddaughter called Kitty).

Lydia - Teapot - maybe just a scottish thing but I wouldn't - sorry.
