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.
