HelpLydia
A recent favorite of mine, I think Lydia would be a refreshing comeback. It’s old, but not musty sounding. WDYT?

I think Lydia is so pretty. Classic and sweet, yet strong and kind of punchy at the same time. In need of a comeback imo.

I love it too - and it anxiously awaits every pending assignment.

Softly sweet, in Lydian measures,
Soon he soothed his soul to pleasures:
War, he sung, is toil and trouble;
Honour, but an empty bubble;
Never ending, still beginning,
Fighting still, and still destroying:
If the world be worth thy winning,
Think, O think it worth enjoying;
Lovely Thais sits beside thee,
Take the good the gods provide thee...

I love Lydia, I think just in sound alone she’s so bright and fresh.

I'm loving Lydia at the moment. I do prefer Lilia but the popularity of Lily and Lily-names is driving me kind of crazy so I've been leaning on Lydia a little. The Bible character is a positive association and I enjoyed the name (if not so much the character) in Pride and Prejudice, particularly the NN Lyddie. I think it has a beautiful sound and is underused =)

I love it, but it's already come back and it's already starting to sound not so refreshing. Friends of ours used it about nine years ago.

Oh my gosh, I adore the name Lydia!!!
This was THE name I wanted to use for a daughter but since a sister of mine named her daughter, "Sylvia" back in January, I'm afraid that the name is off the table. ); Though perhaps I could use it as a middle name? Way easier said than done with coming up with combinations. If it isn't meant to be, guess I could always give this name to a future cat or character. I just want to give this gorgouse and classic name to someone or something!!
10\10 stars. Lydie would be an adorable nickname.

Well in my opinion, I think they are too similar for cousins. Besides, I wouldn't want to seem like I was being a total copy cat. I could always use it as a middle name if I ever end up having a daughter so there might still be a twinge of hope there.

I love it; it's on my list of names I'd give to a daughter. Only thing that concerns me is the popularity; it's in the top 100 :(

It was #61 here when I was born and I’ve known a fair amount of Lydia’s so I don’t really get the refreshing part. I think of it more as a classic, if a slightly more uncommon one.
Lydia Bennet is a fun association, though I know a lot of people don’t like her much.
