I don't see that "LyXia" engenders "oral" thoughts, though I'd be more strongly
inclined to give the program a try if it did! Besides, would this mean that
Word users suffer from dysLyXia?

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
