Lydia is gorgeous! It goes great with Jasper. :)

I don't know if you want middle name suggestions, but here's a few:
Lydia Charlotte (This is on my own list)
Lydia Joy
Lydia June
Lydia Grace
Lydia Claire
Lydia Estelle
Lydia Madeline
Lydia Katherine
Lydia Vivian
Lydia Marie
Lydia Hope
Lydia Scarlett
Lydia Juliette
Lydia Danielle

It's one of my unofficial middle names (long story)and I like it. It goes well with Jasper. I like Eleanor too, Anna's nice but boring.

Lydia is definitely my choice of the three. A very pretty name and it works nicely with Jasper.

I love the name Lydia. It has a classical, Victorian feel without being stuffy. I would use it. Lydia Eleanor sounds good, if you're looking for a combo.

I remember you posting before, and you chose the name I wanted! I think Lydia and Jasper are a perfect sibset, and I love Lydia individually.

Lydia is OK. Anna is boring. What about middle names for Lydia? Do you want some names?

I really like Lydia and always have. My friend has a 3 year old named Lydia and I'm glad it is making somewhat of a comeback. It goes really well with Jasper. Anna and Eleanor go well with Jasper, also. I like Lydia the best, however.

Lydia is wonderful. Please use it.

Anna = OK but boring.
Eleanor = Tolerable but has a snooty vibe.

I prefer Anna, it's simple, international and very pretty :) It's also more classic than the other two. I also really like Eleanor but I think Anna goes better with Jasper.

I've never liked Lydia. It reminds me of lids and lipids and like RoxStar said, it has kind of a sneaky feel to it.

I prefer Anna. Both as a name in general and as a sister to Jasper.
Lydia would be my last pick if I am honest, I know quite a few and while one is a very cute little girl, the others that I know are all in-you-face, loud and a handful. I know for some Lydia is a old classic but where I am it's quite popular and so I've never seen it that way.

LOVE Lydia. I also love Anna. Eleanor is the only that is nms.

---

Lydia Eleanor would make a pretty combo though. :)

Hah, I like all of those names together so clearly you should have 3 daughters. :P
Warning: explanations of my opinions may make no sense

---

Jasper & Lydia: Elegant, beautiful, graceful, mature. These names together make me think of cool colors, water, gemstones, shiny cool metal, etc. I think Lydia fits the tone of Jasper best out of these, but they all fit with Jasper very well.

---

Jasper & Eleanor: Elegant, old-sounding, wise. Eleanor adds in a sepia-tone photograph quality. Still very regal. Lydia is regal too, but Eleanor is even more so. Nickname-wise, Elen / Ellen would work. Ellie would be too 'cute' and kind of lose the entire point of Eleanor. Nora is okay, but a little too humble and earthy for Jasper in my opinion.

---

Jasper & Anna: Pretty, graceful in a subtle way, sounds younger than the other possible sets. Not as cool, but also less "misplaced" in a modern time. (I don't mean misplaced in a bad way, btw. I like many names that sound more suited to a past time. All of these names are suited to this time period, but Anna is more timeless/current and therefore has less oldness to it.)

---

If it were Jasper with 3 sisters, Lydia and Eleanor could go in any order but Anna would have to be the youngest. Anna is one of those "young" names to me. I wouldn't really want to name a kid Anna unless I knew I wasn't having any more kids, because it just screams "youngest" to me.

I say go for Lydia, that is my favourite, though the other two are great so you can't go wrong

I love both Lydia and Eleanor. I'm not as keen on Anna, because it's not only plain but overly popular.

---

Some combo ideas:

---

Lydia Charlotte
Lydia Clara
Lydia Genevieve
Lydia Helen
Lydia Lenore
Lydia Maeve
Lydia Magdalen / Lydia Magdalene
Lydia Marguerite
Lydia Maude
Lydia Nadine
Lydia Pearl
Lydia Viola (vie-OH-lah)
Lydia Violet

---

Eleanor Amelia
Eleanor Cassandra
Eleanor Emilia
Eleanor Freya
Eleanor Laura
Eleanor Tatiana
Eleanor Teresa / Eleanor Theresa
Eleanor Tess
Eleanor Winifred

Lydia - I like it

I think Lydia goes well with Jasper, better than Anna or Eleanor. What about naming her Lydia Anne or Lydia Eleanor? Those sound lovely.

Lydia is...boring. To me, anyway. I don't even know why. It also sounds like a '60s or '70s name to me, but that's not rooted in any logic either. I much prefer Eleanor. I find Anna even more boring than Lydia.

I don't mind Lydia, but I do prefer Eleanor. Anna is very plain and boring, but I do like longer versions of this name.

I truly and deeply dislike the name Lydia. It is just devoid of charm for me. It sounds sneaky and sniggering and dishonest, even though I've never met a Lydia. I just picture a bucktoothed maid swiping jewelry and small change in some dark Victorian house, sleeping around and getting pregnant and deliberately blaming the wrong man. She wouldn't be above poisoning the food to make everybody sick and then try to gain favor by "curing" them.

Anna is much much better.
