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

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!

Lydia is fantastic.

Also thought taht you were going to say Tuesday-which I also like tbh.

noxius · 28/05/2013 01:53

I thought you meant Tuesday was her name Though Tuesday is ok, too.

I digress. Lydia is lovely, congratulations.

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.

beautiful names :)

miffybun73 · 25/05/2013 21:53

Congratulations, really beautiful name - I love it :)

What are you other DCs called ?

apatchylass · 25/05/2013 20:41

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.

PoppyAmex · 25/05/2013 20:35

Lovely choice, congratulations OP.

Congratulations on a very wise choice of first name Wink

WeAreSix · 25/05/2013 18:35

Congratulations! Lovely name :)

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

ifancyashandy · 25/05/2013 18:34

Beautiful name. Especially her middle name Wink. Massive congratulations!

SnoopySnoopyDoggDogg · 25/05/2013 18:34

DonnyOsmondsTeeth · 25/05/2013 18:32

Congratulations, what a beautiful name!

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 25/05/2013 18:28

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

DontmindifIdo · 25/05/2013 18:21

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...)

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.
