If you watched the scene back, as soon as Allison gets stabbed Lydia screams her name (and Allison wasn't dead yet). I mean, maybe it's just because she knew Allison and had a connection to her, but  I don't remember Lydia banshee screaming anyone else's name before.

Thing is, it appears they've set up two canon purposes of her scream. One, as stated earlier this season, is to drown out all the noise so she can focus and hear the voices. The other is to announce the death. So that could be why she never screamed names before. Or like you said, she's closer to Allison than any of the other bodies she's found. Traditionally banshees do stick with a family, a closer relationship than her previous experiences. It might tie together if you don't squint too much, until it's properly explained.
