Lydian is actually the name of a musical mode, like a scale. I absolutely love it as a name, though, b/c it's close to Lydia.
Your opinion? Love it, like it, hate it?
My favorite combos with Lydian are Lydian Emmaline, Lydian Charlotte and Lydian Iris.

Him: "What do you think I'm gonna do, lure you into the bedroom with a hotdog?"
(Pause)
Him: "Ok, bad analogy."
