My name is Lydia. I'm 31. There was one other in my year in 6th form, and I work with kids and have seen a couple of toddlers recently, also know of an acquaintance with a baby Lydia. I used to dislike my name as a child but grew into it and now like the fact that it's somewhat unusual.

Wasn’t there a song about Lydia the tattooed lady?

Leopardprintboots · 20/10/2019 00:32

That was meant to say that I don’t know any even though I go to a lot of baby groups

Leopardprintboots · 20/10/2019 00:31

Don’t know any. Go to a lot of baby groups

augustusglupe · 20/10/2019 00:31

None, but I adore the name. If I’d had another DD I would’ve called her Lydia.

Tillygetsit · 20/10/2019 00:28

Only a whippet.

Quite a few, of various ages. I teach two secondary aged Lydias, know about three or four in their 20/30s and one or two primary school aged.

Seems like it’s a pretty solid name then! I’ve never met one but really love the name. Pleased that it’s normal but not overly popular.
