Just that really? I want a lovely name but I would rather they not be one of 4 in their class as I was! DH and I both agree on these names although I think I’m swaying more towards Norah.

One, my daughter :)

A couple of Noras (one baby, one teen), no Norahs with an h and 1 adult Lydia.

In the official 2016 baby name stays for England and Wales, Lydia was ranked at no. 100, Norah at no. 347 and Nora at no. 283.

So I think it's unlikely that a Lydia / Norah / Nora will be meeting lots of namesakes their own age, although these things can never be guaranteed.

None

Never met a Norah. I knew a Lydia at school

Sophronia · 05/10/2017 12:29

Both lovely names. I don’t know any.

I know an adult Lydia and 2 year old Lydia.

Not met a Norah in real life. Makes me thing of the singer Norah.

Beautiful names.

Don't know any, prefer Norah.

Chaffinch4 · 05/10/2017 12:23

No Norahs, a few Lydias. I love Norah.
