Phyllida is a truly beautiful name that I haven't thought about in a very long time. I used to consider this unique name a "guilty pleasure" in comparison to the more well-known Philippa or Lydia, but now I vastly prefer Phyllida to both. It's also similar to another one of my favorites, Felicity. I suppose I just like Phil-/Fil- names for girls!
It's a name fit for baby girls born in springtime, refreshing, unusual but still familiar and presentable, with a great meaning and tradition.
Really like this name as a more elaborated alternative to Phyllis. Also like Liddy as a potential nickname.
I don't like Phyllis but I like how it means foliage. I'm glad I found Phyllida because it's prettier that Phyllis but still means foliage.
My life will not be complete until I meet a Phyllida.
May be pronounced FIL-i-də, or fil-EE-də.
I love this name - it exudes sophistication.
