HelpRe: Lydia vs. Olivia
in reply to a message by .miela.
Neither, really...Olivia is insanely popular- definitely one to give a bit of a breather. Lydia's okay, but I have to admit that it's permanently coloured by Lydia Bennet of Pride and Prejudice (in addition to which, the only Lydia I know IRL is very much the modern equivalent of the youngest Miss Bennet).
Liv and Livia are legitimate names on their own, but the popularity factor there would probably put me off- she might be the only Livia, but the sheer number of Olivias means that she'd be constantly correcting people- "No, just Livia- no O!!"
When I saw these two names together, I immediately thought of Lavinia, which might appeal, but unfortunately Lavinia is an unpleasantly spoilt character in The Little Princess.
