HelpRe: Lydia/Lidia
in reply to a message by A
The first time I ever heard the name Lydia, I loved it, and my opinion has never changed, despite the annoying Lydia in Pride and Prejudice. I prefer Lydia to Lidia; I like ys, and Lidia looks like it's from a language/culture I'm not part of.

And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
Robert Southey, "The March to Moscow"
