I really like it, the biblical Lydia was really cool.

I prefer the Lydia spelling. My cousin has two girls - Lydia Rose and Madelyn Jean.

I love it! She hasn't left my top 20 since October (I do weekly name charts instead of monthly). I do prefer it spelled Lydia over Lidia, though; the latter would better suit someone Hispanic or with Hispanic heritage.

It's getting very popular. It's fine. Never one of my favorites. I slightly prefer the spelling Lidia but I think it would be easier to be Lydia since it's the more popular spelling in English-speaking countries.

I’ve always loved Lydia. I don’t like Lidia at all.

I’ve been worried about popularity for a while though, since it’s only a hop, skip and a jump from the overdone Olivia, sound-wise.

I really like Lydia! I used to be iffy on it, because it reminds me of Lydia Bennet (she irritated me so much), but now I see Lydia as fun and a little mischievous, and quite enjoyable to say. I definitely prefer the Lydia spelling, it looks far more aesthetically pleasing to my eyes.

Hi !!!

I've then in my list but they are nearly 'old faves' because they became quite boring. They are great in combos though.

I loved Lydia back in the 1980s, long before it became popular. So there.

I don't like the Lidia spelling as much as Lydia, that's for sure. I also don't like the Silvia spelling as much as Sylvia, but I've noticed that Silvia is common among Hispanics. The Y just makes both names look prettier, IMO.

Lydia has been on-and-off my Top 10 for years. I could easily see myself naming a daughter Lydia - but only this spelling! I don't think Lidia, without the Y, has nearly the same charm.

It has grown on me too to the point where I can see myself using it. I still find Lilia to be prettier, but Lydia/Lyddie is far less common than Lilia/Lily and probably more sophisticated. For me, the Biblical and literature references also add to the appeal of Lydia. It's funny, for Sylvia I prefer the Silvia spelling but for Lydia I don't like Lidia...

I love this name, but I don’t like the spelling Lidia. It looks better as Lydia, I think.

♥♥♥♥♥♥ Love, love, love it! I would use this name for a daughter in an absolute hearbeat if I didn't have a neice named Sylvia. But at least I plan on using it for a cat so at least I still get to use it, in a way. Just wish it could be for an actual child. Fairly certain this is my #1 girl's name.
Lydia: ages phenomenology well and is GORGOUSE beyond words. I also adore the nn 'Lydie'
I don't care for the other spelling.
