  I dont like or dislike the name.
  
  It makes think of the movie Beetlejuice. The character Winona Ryder played was named Lydia.
  
  The nn Liddy is cute though.

  I like Lydia, don't love it, but it could grow on me.  I picture a little girl in my fifth grade class with the name; cute, outgoing, sporty girl with long wavy blonde hair.

  Very pretty, and a great alternative to the way too popular Olivia.

  To be honest I don't care for the name Lydia. I don't associate it with anything or anyone, just don't really like it. I think it ages fine though.

  It's ok. Am I the only one who gets a super 80-early 90's vibe from this name? I dont know what it is though but it lumps right in there with Jennifer, Jessica, Tiffiany, Tina... Was there a character in Sweet Vally High or Baby Sitters Club with that name?

  I like it better than Olivia only because Olivia is so darn popular. The only Lydia I know IRL is my 65 year old aunt. Love her...but didn't really care for the name until more recently. It does make me think of chlamydia a bit though.

  I know that I often don't care for old-fashioned names because I can't see them on a little girl...but as so many others would say...keep in mind that she will be using it for many more years as an adult than as a child!

  Lydia is a classic name, and I love it! I think it ages well. I know two older women named Lydia and they are so sweet, classy, and intelligent.

  I LOVE Lydia. It's our top choice for a girl and it actually ousted the super-popular Olivia (my former favorite) for its similar sound. A lovely choice.

  The nn Liddy is cute though.

  And this is why it was my favorite name pretty much all through my childhood.  Loved Beetlejuice.

  I find it interesting you think it too young sounding of a name because I always think it sounds to grown up for children.

  I LOVE the name Lydia, but im partial, it is my DD's name! Honestly, I think its Timeless and great for both a lil' girl and a adult!! One of the reason we fell in love with it! We actually found a different spelling that has an "h" at the end, and we chose to spell her name that away, "Lydiah", but we adore her name and never second guessed it!!  HTH

  The name Lydia has definitely grown on me this year. Before, I always thought of the youngest Bennett sister in Pride and Prejudice, however, out of nowhere now I really like it.

  Love Lydia! My second choice for a girl's name, if I can bring DH around on it. I've never been a fan of Olivia, although it's a nice enough name.

  I love Lydia, it is DD's name.  I think it ages well and is different, but not uncommon.
