So me and dh had previously decided on lydia for our baby girl but now I’m starting to like some other names. I’m not sure if they are as usable as lydia or if they should remain guilty pleasure names so I would like some advice. The names are [name_f]Lynette[/name_f], [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], willow, or of course lydia. Also what would be your favorite nn for these.
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] is such an amazing, lovely name! I love it! I also really like [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], but I’ve never been a fan of [name_f]Willow[/name_f] and don’t really like the sound of [name_f]Lynette[/name_f].
I think [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] could go by [name_f]Leah[/name_f]/[name_f]Lia[/name_f] or [name_f]Lea[/name_f] (leh-uh) or even [name_m]Leo[/name_m]. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] could be [name_f]Dia[/name_f] or [name_f]Dee[/name_f] or something like that.
Good luck and congrats!
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] is stunning! It’s my favourite, followed by [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. [name_f]Lynette[/name_f] sounds a bit dated to my ears, and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is pretty, juts not my favourite.
My favourite nn’s for [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] would be [name_f]Nora[/name_f] and [name_m]Leo[/name_m], but I also like [name_f]Lea[/name_f]/[name_f]Lia[/name_f] (prn. [name_u]LEE[/name_u]-ah). Nn’s for [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] could be [name_f]Liddie[/name_f]/Lyddie, [name_f]Didi[/name_f], [name_f]Leah[/name_f]/[name_f]Lia[/name_f]/[name_f]Lea[/name_f] of [name_f]Dia[/name_f]. Nn’s for [name_f]Lynette[/name_f] could include [name_u]Lyn/name_u, Nette (prn. Net), [name_f]Netta[/name_f], [name_f]Netty[/name_f]/[name_f]Nettie[/name_f], Lynie or Lette/[name_f]Letty[/name_f]. The only nn I can think of for [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is [name_m]Will[/name_m].
Good luck!
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is my favorite. [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] is nice but I find it slightly dated.
I think they’re all usable. My favourite would still be [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. Nice sound but plenty of strength and character. For nns, my favourites are:
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f]- [name_f]Aura[/name_f] (from [name_f]Ora[/name_f])
[name_f]Lynette[/name_f]- [name_f]Ettie[/name_f] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f]
I don’t think [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] or [name_f]Willow[/name_f] need one, but maybe [name_f]Lydie[/name_f] and [name_f]Willa[/name_f]?
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is absolutely beautiful!
I much prefer [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] and [name_f]Lynette[/name_f]. They are gorgeous! I knew a [name_f]Lynette[/name_f] and she was one of the nicest people that I have ever met, and her name sounded so sweet on her. [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] I would use either her full name or a nn like [name_f]Lena[/name_f] or [name_f]Nora[/name_f]. [name_f]Lynette[/name_f] could go by [name_f]Linny[/name_f] or [name_f]Nettie[/name_f] as nicknames.
Like [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], love [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], dislike [name_f]Lynette[/name_f], and feel meh about [name_f]Willow[/name_f].
Liddy maybe for [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. [name_f]Nora[/name_f] or [name_f]Lena[/name_f] for [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]. [name_u]Lyn[/name_u] or [name_f]Etta[/name_f] or [name_f]Ettie[/name_f] for [name_f]Lynette[/name_f]. [name_m]Will[/name_m] for [name_f]Willow[/name_f].
What about [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f], nn [name_f]Lea[/name_f], [name_f]Nora[/name_f], or [name_f]Lena[/name_f]?
[name_u]Leslie[/name_u]
I love [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] and [name_f]Willow[/name_f]. I’d put them both up as the front runners and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] would be my second pick. Nickname wise, I like [name_f]Leonie[/name_f] for [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] and [name_u]Lyn[/name_u] for [name_f]Lynette[/name_f] (I also find [name_f]Lynette[/name_f] very dated!), but I don’t think [name_f]Willow[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] need nicknames.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is my favorite. Followed by [name_f]Leonora[/name_f]. [name_f]Willow[/name_f] isn’t a name I particularly like. I know several Lynettes I adore so I’m fond of the name, but they’re all 40-60 years old, so I think it’s a bit dated.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is stunning. I’ve heard it’s on the popular side, but I have yet to meet a little [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] is gorgeous, too. I’m not sure if [name_f]Lynette[/name_f] is ready for a comeback yet. It still is a bit dated.
I love [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. Definitely my favourite of your choices. Have you considered [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f]?
I love [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] ([name_f]Lydie[/name_f]) and [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] ([name_f]Leonie[/name_f]).
[name_f]Lynette[/name_f] I’m afraid is dated and not ready for a come back. The other 3 are lovely. [name_f]Willow[/name_f] is a different style, more whimsical. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] on the other hand have a grown-up elegance and tradition about them. Does one style feel more right for you and your family?
My favourite is [name_f]Leonora[/name_f], and I think [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] or [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Willow[/name_f] would be great combos! [name_f]Willow[/name_f] [name_f]Leonora[/name_f] is also lovely.
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] wins imo. I am not a fan of the rest.
