I would have had Lydia Catherine, Lydia Daisy or Lydia Kitty if I had had a girl!

I like your top 2 choices the most.

SE13 really like the names you suggest (with the exception of Jane, even though every Jane I have known has been lovely). My feeling is that a one syllable middle name doesn't go well with a one syllable surname.

Trickle bet I have a boy Grin

We considered Lydia for DD2 and would have paired it with Ruth, Joy, Hope, Kate or Jane.

Trickle · 28/04/2012 23:20

Aww maybe wait a bit to see what suits her?

Trickle- My DP likes Lydia May but I'm not so keen so thought this would be a compromise I would be happy with Smile.

Aw, I keep fluctuating between them all and now I like Lydia Florence also Confused

Thanks for your opinions thus far. Still haven't made a firm decision yet- DP says the choice can be mine.

Possibly should have linked my first thread which explains my reasons for dicounting some of the names suggested on this thread -Rose, Grace

keepyours- ooh Lydia Florence, lovely!

Lydia Beatrice

networkjunkie · 28/04/2012 18:09

first thought was Rose but I like Esme.

Trickle · 28/04/2012 18:00

I thought Lydia May when I saw the thread title

So Lydia Esme I think is fab! Grin

Maiziemonkey · 28/04/2012 17:56

I like Lydia Esme

EssieW · 28/04/2012 17:31

Lydia Beatrice is lovely.

Also like Lydia Elizabeth, Lydia Katherine, Lydia Mary

TheGrandOldDuke · 28/04/2012 17:28

I love the name Lydia, but my mum has ruined it for me! sigh sometimes it's better to keep it as a surprise so no one can ruin it!!!

I like Lydia Esme.

EduStudent · 28/04/2012 01:10

Rose was the first thing that came to me too!

lunamoon · 28/04/2012 00:54

I also thought Rose.

keepyourselfalive · 27/04/2012 22:12

Lydia Beatrice sounds lovely!
(I'm a 'Lydia Florence' btw Smile )

eatyourveg · 27/04/2012 21:52

I thought Rose straight away too

Noggie · 27/04/2012 21:49

Another vote for Lydia Beatrice!

plantsitter · 25/04/2012 22:01

I like Lydia Beatrice but can't it be Beatrix just because x is such a cool letter to have in your name?!

GRW · 25/04/2012 21:58

I nearly called my DD Lydia Helen, but chose Helen as a first name in the end

TheDowager · 25/04/2012 21:12

I thought Lydia Grace as soon as I read the thread title ...

bigfunnylass · 25/04/2012 20:05

i too thought of "rose" as soon as Lydia was mentioned

AceOfBase · 25/04/2012 19:48

Wickham :o
Beatrice is best of those you've chosen but i agree with makescakes that rose suits it better

MakesCakesWhenStressed · 25/04/2012 19:45

Lydia Rose popped into my head when I saw the thread title
