This name has been growing on me over the past little while. I never really liked it that much, but I think it's kinda cute and spunky now.
Leah or Lydia? - Lydia, not a fan of Leah
Lydia or Julia? - Julia, still prefer that to Lydia

I prefer Leah and Julia to Lydia, but Lydia is nice too.

I like the name Lydia a lot. I like it better than Leah and Julia (and if you're curious I like Leah more than I like Julia).

If you're going with the Lidia spelling, you may like Lidian, nn Lidia. Otherwise, I'd personally go with the 'y' spelling. I prefer Lydia to Leah and Julia. Lydia is actually one of my top 4 girls' names!

To be born Welsh is not to be born with a silver spoon in your mouth, but with a song in your heart.

I love Lydia! Lidia is a bit dull, Leah is a bit boring and Julia is great.

My dear ! are Alia, Eidel, Enola, Israel, Dudel and Yuri.

I like it, it was my grandmothers name.

---

I prefer it over Julia and Leah.

I like it a lot, I think it's very sophisticated-sounding.
I prefer Lydia over Leah but if I have to choose between Lydia and Julia I can't choose, I like them both...

Lydia is lovely

I would definitely choose Lydia before Leah and Julia, just b/c Lydia is more uncommon.

Lydia Bennett is not the only literary character. I liked Lyddie by Katherine Paterson.

1) Lydia
2) Leah
3) Julia

But all three are beautiful names. Lidia is a Slavic spelling, I would only use this if I had roots from Russia etc.

I like Lydia more than Leah or Julia because it isn't nearly as popular and has a spunky old fashioned feel to it. I only like it spelt with the 'y', for some reason the 'i' makes it look short or choppy to me. Leah would be my second choice as I don't care much for Julia.

Lydia is cute but I prefer Leah and Julia over it. Julia is one of my absolute favorite names!

I like LIDIA.

I'm sorry, but I can't stand the name! It makes me think of the Jane Austen character, and also I don't think it has the nicest sound. Spelling it Lidia would just make it worse for me - the word lid stands out then. I definately prefer Leah and Julia over Lydia. Leah would be my favourite out of those names.

Lydia was one of my absolute favourites when I was a teenager, and I've recently started really liking it again. It's about 4th in my girls' list at the moment.

I prefer Lydia to Leah, but I think I prefer Julia to Lydia (Julia isn't on my list because it's my stepcousin's name - I have too many cousins!).

All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us. - J.R.R. Tolkien.

It has a pretty sound, but it's nrms.
I love Leah and Julia though.

---

Lydia makes me think of Lydia Bennet, so I'd never use it--she was an awful thing! However, I think the name has a nice sound, and I like the nickname Lyddie a LOT.

---

I like Lydia more than Leah (though I'd like Lia better than either), and I like Julia slightly more than Lydia--simply because Julia's a song and Lydia's a scandalous Jane Austen character, heh. I think Julia and Lydia would be really nice as siblings.

I think Lydia is a lovely name. I always said that if I had to change my name, it'd be to either Lydia or Miranda. I only like the spelling Lydia, as Lidia looks very awkward to me.

---

I choose Lydia for the first one, but I like Julia and Lydia equal, so I can't choose one.
