HelpRe: Lydia/Lidia
in reply to a message by A
Hi !!!
Both Lydia / Lidia are actually place-names. I have no ties with that region (Ancient or modern) to justify its usage as given name.
But this is just me...

I would think being a Biblical name -of a person- makes Lydia well established enough for its place name origins to be basically irrelevant.

Right but for very long it has been used as a name. Unexpected response from you.

Hi A !!!
I obviously know that it is an established name infact it is an old-favourite of mine because of its refined sound.
If I think about a name that I really like I pay attention to the meaning.
My favourite names are infact simple-meaning names often related with nature and sky like Stella, Rosa, Luna, Alba, Celeste, Flora ...
Lydia / Lidia are far better than a lot of names for sure.. but they are not special.
I've just realized that my answer was actually quite ambiguous... maybe I had to clarify that I meant my personal usage of it as given name.

I get where you’re coming from. I LOVE the name Judith, but I’m a little squeamish on ising it irl, even though I don’t think most people associate it with being Jewish (which I’m not). Most just think of it as an old lady name. It still feels false.
