I had a baby on Tuesday and named her....

[happy2bhomely]

Our 5th baby (3rd daughter) was born on Tuesday. After much debate and lots of indecision we named her Lydia Frances. She is beautiful of course and I am just so pleased to have found a name that I finally felt was 'the one'.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

I'm sooooo happy!

[Bowlersarm]

Congratulations.

Lovely name

[peanutMD]

Congratulations and glad you're happy with the name, as long as you love it you can't go wrong :)

[ChippingInLovesSpring]

Congratulations :)

It must be even harder to find a name you love by baby number 5, so you have done very well on that score too!

[MrsFrederickWentworth]

How lovely.

I love Lydia and some of the nicest people I know are Frances.

Many congratulations

[happy2bhomely]

Thank you!

That's the thing, I don't mind if no one else particularly likes it, or even hates it, because I just love it. I had convinced myself that I would end up settling for a name that was just OK.

Oh I love the name Lydia! (ok, I'm now wibbling, I'm due to have a c section a week on Tuesday and I thought I had my 'girl name' sorted, Lydia was on the long list and for some reason I overlooked putting it on the short list, I now really am debating changing my mind...)

[EllenJanesthickerknickers]

Lovely name. I was sure it was going to be 'Tuesday' from you title, though.

[DonnyOsmondsTeeth]

Congratulations, what a beautiful name!

[SnoopySnoopyDoggDogg]

Congratulations :) Beautiful name.

[ifancyashandy]

Beautiful name. Especially her middle name . Massive congratulations!

[WeAreSix]

Congratulations! Lovely name :)

I thought the same as Ellen that you were going to say you'd named her Tuesday!

[ExcuseTypos]

Congratulations on a very wise choice of first name

[waikikamookau]

[juneybean]

[Alisvolatpropiis]

Congratulations! Lovely name

[BigBongTheory]

Absolutely beautiful.

[SleepyCatOnTheMat]

Yes, genuinely like :)

[PoppyAmex]

Lovely choice, congratulations OP.

[apatchylass]

I love the name. Three of my favourite women in the world (my auntie and the two best teachers I ever had) are Frances. It was high on my list if we'd had girls.

And Lydia is beautiful. Elegant and distinctive.

[miffybun73]

Congratulations, really beautiful name - I love it :)

What are you other DCs called ?

[UniqueAndAmazing]

congratulations

beautiful names :)

[cantbloodywellchoose]

I thought you were going to say you'd named her Tuesday! Lydia is a beautiful name, congrats!!!

[happy2bhomely]

My other girls are Grace and Kimberly, so quite different really.

When people ask her name, I want to say the whole thing, not just her first name! I am on such a high right now. I'm so in love with her.

[ExcuseTypos]

Ah that's so lovely! Wish we could all have a cuddle
