Answer 16

I like them both, but prefer Lydia.  I'm really considering naming a daughter this (Lydia)!

Comparing the two:

Lydia is more timeless

Lila is more of a trend

Lydia sounds a bit more intelligent

Lila sounds a bit more pretty

(not to say one isn't the other!)

Lydia would pretty much always be spelled right

Lila not also so (Lilah, Leila, maybe even Layla)

Meaning:

Lydia - city in Greece

Lila - short of Delilah (name in Bible?) or Lila (lilac/violet in German)

btw, I always see it as Lila in German (pronounced Lee-la)
