I'm not against it, but I'm curious about the reasoning.
We need more female users, as the developers are only male, we should
at least have a femal mascot ;-). I simply like the name that was
first proposed in bug 135.
Sounds slightly sexist, we should hope for more female users and
developers instead :-) Anyway, Lydia isn't bad, but inspires me to
suggest Lyxia ... However, that bug seems "resolved" to 'The LyX' ?

I put together some notes (and a photo of a real platypus!) here

The page could useful if we start a discussion/vote on a new name.

Lyxia sounds oddly oral as in cunnilingus. Lydia sounds like a cross
between LyX and Apple Lisa.
``The LyX'' sounds like one is entering a Rave or a Comedy Club.
Lydia would work if it's actually an Acronym for this LaTeX WYSIWYM
Environment.
