LuciaHands down. I love almost all Luc- names, and Lydia seems so dated to me.

Lydiaalthough seeing Lydia and Lucia close together made me think of Lycia - best of both worlds ;)

Both are on my long list. Both are beautiful, but if I were to name a daughter of mine, I would pick Lucia with the Spanish pronunciation of 'Loo-see-ah'.It was a strong contender for this baby if we end up having a girl. :)

LuciaThis was actually kind of difficult. I strongly dislike how there are so many ways of pronouncing Lucia plus Lucy is getting really common. Lydia is kind of common too, but the pronunciation is clear. I like Lucia's meaning a lot. I think I would go with Lucia. I have no idea which pronunciation I would choose. I like loo-SEE-ah and I like it with the nn Lucy but loo-CHEE-ah is nice too.

LuciaI adore both, as long as Lucia is Loo-see-uh. I like Loo-chee-uh too, but I don't feel I can do it much justice, and I loath Loo-sha. Lydia's fearless, feisty, spontaneous, whilst Lucia is exotic, beautiful, and level headed. I don't know, so I'll do what I usually do and chose the less popular one, which is... Lucia, just.

That's an easy one - Lucia. Far nicer sound (I pronounce it loo-SEE-a) and meaning.

DependsIf it's loo-SEE-ah, then Lucia. If it's some other pronunciation of Lucia, I much prefer Lydia.

Me too. Exactly this.

Lydia!The choice is incredibly easy for me. I absolutely adore the name Lydia and I actually plan to use it if I ever have a daughter. (And hopefully I do)

Lucia is alright though but I definitely wouldn't choose it over Lydia

Lucia! I love the Italian pronounciation, loo-CHEE-uh. Lydia rhymes with a VD.

Yes it does ;)

Lydia if those were the only options. I find Lucia too frilly for comfort and also impossible to pronounce confidently, given the possible variants. But IRL I'd use Lucy without hesitation.

Lydia! If it was other Lucy variants I would of pick those!
