Lillian or Lydia for a girl?

[name_f]Do[/name_f] you prefer the name [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] or [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] for a girl?

I’m having a daughter and I’m torn between two names. The father’s side of the family has thick curly black hair, and so does mine. So, I think it’s safe to assume she will have black hair. She’s also got a good chance of dark eyes. So, what do you think? [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] or [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]?

I have always loved [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and feel it is greatly underused. I would love to meet a young [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]!

While I like both, [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] has been used a lot in recent years so I’d go with [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].

I prefer [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lil[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f], not a fan of [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] since there’s a [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] in my city and hates her name, also there’s not really a good nn for [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and it sounds bland.

I respectfully disagree! I adore [name_f]Lia[/name_f], [name_f]Dia[/name_f], and Lydi as nicknames for [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. And I do not find it bland at all. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] has a rich, gorgeous sound & a strong history

[name_f]Lydia[/name_f], for sure!

If I had to choose right now I’d say [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]/[name_f]Lily[/name_f]/[name_f]Liliana[/name_f] is so popular…but it’s a beautiful name.

I truly love the name [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].

I’ve never been a huge fan of [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] (but I do like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]!). I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] though. I think it’s beautiful, strong, sweet, and spunky all in one! It’s so underused, and I’d love to meet a little [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].
Also love the nickname [name_f]Lydie[/name_f], it’s so very cute!

I like [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]!

Good luck!

I definetly prefer [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is kind of boring to me, and more old fashion.

[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is pretty, but I prefer [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].
