Falling in love with Lydia

Me & DH are TTC baby #1 at the moment & I’m getting a slight obsession with finding the perfect name for our future baby. In the last few days I’ve fallen in love with the name [name]Lydia[/name]! What do you berries think?

My only concern with it is its appearance in the recent UK reality series ‘the only way is essex’. The association doesn’t bother me as I think it will soon be forgotten but will the name become popular on the back of it?

Possible mn combinations

[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Lark[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Violet[/name] ([name]LOVE[/name] this)

Thoughts & suggestions please xx

I love [name]Lydia[/name]:slight_smile: [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] and [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Violet[/name] are both very pretty.

I have become obsessed with [name]Lydia[/name], as well! [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Violet[/name] and [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Lark[/name] are gorgeous names!
What about [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Oceane[/name]? You seem to like middle names that are words.

Other mn suggestions:

[name]Lily[/name]
[name]Rose[/name]
[name]Ruby[/name]
[name]Scarlett[/name]
[name]Jade[/name]
[name]Poppy[/name]

[name]How[/name] about [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Hazel[/name]?

[name]Love[/name] [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Paloma[/name], [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Ruby[/name] and [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Hazel[/name], thanks berries! [name]Lori[/name] I’m in the uk so the us stats don’t always match, it was 107 here in 2010 (down from 91 in 2009), will be interesting to see if it’s moved in the us though

[name]Lori[/name] - love [name]Lydie[/name] as a nn

What do you think of

[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Roisin[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Lilac[/name] (usually hate alliterative names but they sound surprisingly good with [name]Lydia[/name])
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Isolde[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Niamh[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Eve[/name]

Namelover - yes I love nature/colour names

Thanks lori, I love [name]Roisin[/name] & am considering it as a fn too but struggling on middles for it

I was surprised to see that [name]Lydia[/name] had fallen so much in 2010, and will be intrigued to see how much it rises in popularity for 2011. Although I’ve not seen it used much people are always talking about the name!

[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Maeve[/name] is stunning, but so is [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Violet[/name] - I just can’t decide.

[name]Lydia[/name] is gorgeous! All of your combos are great, too!

Here are some suggestions:

[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Pearl[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Helen[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Margaret[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Lydia[/name] [name]Blythe[/name]

My favourite is [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Violet[/name]. Usually [name]Lydia[/name] isn’t my first pick, but I like it with [name]Violet[/name]!

I’ve started to like [name]Lydia[/name] more and more recently too, it’s very pretty and classic, plus [name]Lydie[/name] is adorable. [name]Lydia[/name] [name]Violet[/name] is nice. Sometimes I can’t get over the Pride & Prejudice character and the rhyme with Chlamydia though :frowning: I wouldn’t worry about [name]Lydia[/name] from TOWIE, because she’s not one of the ones that seems to get the most publicity and [name]Lydia[/name] is a name most people were aware of before the show. Last year’s stats should have shown it rising because the programme was already on, and they didn’t :slight_smile:

sheflyswithherowns wings - i know, those two are lovely, I think DH will prefer [name]Violet[/name], he brought it up the other day.

[name]Caroline[/name] - TOWIE only started in 2010 so the stats may not have risen in 2010, when the 2011 stats are out this year then ill see if its still outside the top 100 (not a deal breaker but would prefer it).
