Any good nicknames for Lydia?

I love the name Lydia, but also like a name to have the option of a shortening or nick name. Are there any sensible nicknames for Lydia? I don’t particularly fancy future dd being known as Lid! Grin

I know a little Lydia whose nn is Liddy which I think it cute on a child

Nicknames come naturally they don’t need to be predetermined

My sister is named Lydia and I call her Lido (pronounced Lee-doe) like the beach in Venice.

Lydie. She'd be Lyds though. My first thought was Chlamydia.

menconfuseme · 04/04/2018 21:51

I think Lydi is nice x

pipilangstrumpf · 04/04/2018 21:49

Why would you shorten a short lovely name like Lydia?!

ChocolateCrunch · 04/04/2018 21:44

The Lydia I know gets called Teapot

smeerf · 04/04/2018 21:39

We call our Lydia Squid... Sorry probably not what you're looking for.

notthedressiwanted · 04/04/2018 21:39

I call my friends daughter Lady Lydia, or donut...

Hmmm. I thought as much.
DeeDee is quite nice, but I’m not 100% convinced, and definitely want to avoid bin lid!
Back to the drawing board then I think.
