User Comments about the name Lydia
Comment left May 22, 2008: "My sister's name is Lydia. I love this name. Although sometimes, for odd reasons, people think her name is Linda. Overall, she has no problems with people mispronouncing her name. I think the name Lydia is very feminine and sophisticated. I would definitly name my daughter Lydia (at least as a middle name just to minimize the confusion with my sister)." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left May 10, 2008: "My daughter's name is Lydia I have always loved the name she was named after my mother's cousin.. and then i saw the movie beetlejuice." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 24, 2008: "I'm a Lydia Beatrice. Named after my great-grandmother, who wa named after her mother.
Becoming more popular now, but still dont meet many other Lydias, and when you do, you remember them, and it gives you a funny little feeling to share the name, like a special bond.
Not much rhymes with it- Chlamydia and En-cly-clo-pidia were the nearest anyone got, bt by the time kids knew those words, they had moved beyond the name calling stage.
Lydia is also a region of Turkey, where the use of coins in Europe is said to have started.
There's also a book called Love For Lydia, whic was made into a film. And there's Lydia Bennett from Pride and Prejudice.
Negative connotations- Lydia Lunch, a porn star.
People get it right most of the time with spelling and pronunciation. Sometimes get Lidia spelling and sometimes people pronounce it lie-dee-ah, when its lid-ee-ah.
Harder to find premade 'name' stuff, but ways round are to buy letter beads for necklaces separately, and its easy to get stuff custom personalised.
Can sometimes seem a little plain, but all in all, a good name." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Feb 03, 2008: "August 19 1997
I asked my dad how they got my name they said that they look on the computer so i did.I was so suprised how much peoples names were Lydia in 1880! But my parents did tell me that it was popular then. I have met someone named Lydia at a camp it felt weird to say Lydia because I never knew anybody named Lydia. I LOVE my name because it is unique and very special." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jun 10, 2007: "My name is Lydia and I am 15 years old. I love my name so much because Lydia was a women's name in the Bible. I don't know anybody personally whose name is Lydia. I like how it is original! Every now and then I will run into somebody who has the same name but it is very rare. I think Lydia is a very pretty name. (it's a fun one to write in cursive!:) My family has given me the nickname Lyd...I like that. Lots of people don't know how to spell my name but I'm cool with that. If you can't think of a name to give to your baby girl name her LYDIA!!! I am sure she will love it! I do!" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jan 14, 2007: "I hated my name growing up but now I love it! I was named after my Great Grandmother and didn't know of anybody else with that name until my Senior year of Highschool when a new Fresman started with my name. I love that it's not very common, but still people know it. I do have to spell it though when I tell them my name, to many times has it been spelled Lidya or Lidia. Many times I get mail for Linda!!"
