Lydia vs Georgia

You have all been so helpful in the past!

[name_f][/name_f]

If we have twin boys they will be [name_m]Rory[/name_m] or Rordan nn [name_m]Rory[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] nn [name_m]Tommy[/name_m].
[name_f][/name_f]MN options: [name_m]Kai[/name_m], Ryde, [name_f]Carol[/name_f], [name_f]Merritt[/name_f], [name_m]George[/name_m]

[name_f][/name_f]

If we have two girls they will be [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]MN options: [name_m]Kai[/name_m], [name_m]Lyn[/name_m], [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f], [name_f]Marielle[/name_f]

[name_f][/name_f]

If it is one of each it will be [name_m]Rory[/name_m] and [name_f][/name_f]?

[name_f][/name_f]

I am leaning towards [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] because [name_m]Rory[/name_m] has significance to me and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] has family significance for DH.
[name_f][/name_f]Thoughts? We have not shared them with family but but [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] seem to evoke feelings good and bad. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] has bad nicknames, biblical and Hollywood connections. [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] is a place name and no [name_f]Georgina[/name_f] or other variants are not an option. I also think I might like the combo [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]?

I think both names are lovely with [name_m]Rory[/name_m].

[name_f][/name_f]

By ‘bad’ nicknames do you mean Lyd/Lyddie? I don’t think they’re bad at all. [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] has a lovely literary heritage appearing in lots of classic novels. I personally prefer it to [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] but both are pretty. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think the place name associations are a downside?

[name_f][/name_f]

Don’t love them together as a combo but [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_m]Lyn[/name_m] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_m]Kai[/name_m] would be cute as twins, or either of them with Marilyn/Marielle.

I admit I do not care at all about the place name idea, but on other boards people are quick to mention they don’t like [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] because of that, so I wasn’t sure if that would be something people would say to her throughout her life?

[name_f][/name_f]

For [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], on another board someone said they had a friend [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] that they called Litty and it really threw me off

they’re both such pretty names! [name_m]Rory[/name_m] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] sound similar though so with twin [name_m]Rory[/name_m] i would go with [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]

[name_m]Rory[/name_m] & [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] or [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] & [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] are lovely names! [name_f][/name_f] I think they’re lovely with your older two (Isaac & [name_f]Thea[/name_f], yes?). [name_f][/name_f] [name_m]Rory[/name_m] is delightful, and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] are so lovely with him! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]My[/name_f] hesitation with [name_m]Rory[/name_m] & [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] is they’re both kind of “or” heavy, but if that doesn’t bother you, they’re a great pair! [name_f][/name_f] For what it’s worth, I don’t know that [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] needs a nickname, but I think Liddy/Lydie and [name_f]Dia[/name_f] are adorable! [name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is a bit rhymey but still nice (really like [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] or [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] too).

Good luck!

[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f]

I am also unfamiliar with “bad” nicknames for [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

For more options, are places in [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] (like the city Augusta), options maybe if these two don’t pan out?

[name_f][/name_f]

If one of each, I would do [name_m]Rory[/name_m] [name_f]Merritt[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] or [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f]

[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] are lovely (tbh, I see them as more name-y than place-y), and [name_m]Rory[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] are a great set!

[name_f][/name_f]

With [name_m]Rory[/name_m], I slightly prefer [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] because of the OR sounds in [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] and [name_m]Rory[/name_m], but I don’t think that makes them unusable by any means

I would pick [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] too!

I think I like [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] better than [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_m]Rory[/name_m] & [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] are sweet and spunky together, they pair better than [name_m]Rory[/name_m] & [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] do IMO.

[name_f][/name_f]

[name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] is a fine combo and I prefer it to your other MN options.

I really like:

Rory & Thomas
Georgia & Lydia
Lydia & Thomas
Lydia & Rory
Georgia & Thomas

I would never think of Litty for Lydia - only Lyddie, Dee-Dee, Lia, or Dia.

I’m not as drawn to:

The name Rordan - I don’t think it’s nearly as handsome as straight Rory. Rory is more than enough of its own. I also think Rordan will get - “Jordan? Morgan?” and maybe “Rordy” or “Rord” sometimes.

Rory / Rordan & Georgia - as others have said because of the assonant “Or” sound. If makes me want to say Georgia & Rorgia or Rordan & Geordan etc. it’s not a dealbreaker though - obv still fab names! Would go Rory & Georgia.

I don’t mind Lydia as a middle for Georgia but if you’re having more kids, would keep Lydia in back pocket. I personally like Lydia more than Georgia (though definitely see Georgia’s appeal).

Some combos:

Rory Merritt & Thomas George / Carol
Georgia Lyn & Lydia Kai
Georgia Marilyn & Lydia Marielle
Thomas George & Lydia Marilyn/Marielle
Lydia Marilyn & Rory Merritt
Georgia Marilyn & Thomas Carol

Hope this helps! :sparkles:

I like both names equally. As I am in the UK, [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] doesn’t have the same place-name feel. For me, it’s just a pretty name. I think Lydia’s nicknames are fine. There’s nothing wrong with Lyd or Lyddie. [name_f]Georgia[/name_f], is less likely to get a nickname though as it is shorter. If you don’t like the nicknames for [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], choose [name_f]Georgia[/name_f]. I think [name_m]Rory[/name_m] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] sound good together. A boy I knew at school was called [name_m]Rory[/name_m] [name_m]George[/name_m] and I’ve never forgotten his name. I always thought it was cool! [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] I quite like, personally. It rhymes, but the Italians and the Spaniards do it all the time, so why shouldn’t you? [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] is also lovely.

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Rory[/name_m] and [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] nn [name_m]Tommy[/name_m] together though I know that isn’t the point of the post.

Maybe it’s my accent, but I find [name_m]Rory[/name_m] and [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] difficult to say together, so I think [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] goes a lot better with [name_m]Rory[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] For first-middle combos I think [name_f]Georgia[/name_f] [name_f]Marilyn[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Marielle[/name_f] are very pretty.
