[Opinions] Dahlia Vs Lydia?
Replies
Dahlia.
For me, Dahlia feels more eccentric than classic. I do like flower names, and Dahlia does have a nice sound, but it also reminds me of the Black Dahlia murder, I'm sorry to say.
Lydia definitely falls into the classic category for me and I prefer it to Dahlia, even putting aside Dahlia's dark association.

Oh Gee... That is a tough one. I think, in the end, I would choose what could create the most meaningful name for my child.
Things I would consider:
Lydia:
is biblical and a follower of Jesus
recognizable and easy to put in combos
"L" names are big right now so it may be semi popular or blend in with more popular names
means "from Lydia", which is not really significant
Dahlia:
is a perky and cheerful flower
I have a lot of family with summer birthdays and Dahlias are summer flowers
"D" isn't a popular letter right now so the name is less likely to be popular and over used any time soon.
can be spelled Dalia and then has more significant meanings...
In the end, I would probably choose Dahlia.

I prefer Lydia, but I prefer Lydia to pretty much everything, because it's my number one name. However, I do really like Dahlia and would consider it in real life. I don't think it's trendy at all, but I don't classify it as a classic either. I would categorize it as an underused floral name.
