ArchivesRe: Curious about a (mis)pronunciation of 'Lydia'
in reply to a message by Friday
As far as I know, English is the only language in which "Ly" can be pronounced like the word "lie." There are a few names in which it is pronounced that way: Lyle, Lyla, Lyman. I have also heard of Lyda (and Lida) with the "lie" sound and it's possible that might be related to Lydia. But Lydia itself, no.
