Sister for Lydia

Just that baby girl on the way and need inspiration for names. DD1 is only 18 months so most names have been recycled from that list but none seem right. Not sure about matching first initials and think I want a name that doesn’t end in A but loads of girl names do.

I know Lydia with a sister called Verity. Both lovely names. (I don’t understand why Lydia isn’t more popular.)

AlexandraThePanda · 15/01/2020 09:41

I'm Alexandra and my sister is Lydia. I might be biased but I always liked the combination.

KatnissK I have a Lydia and a Vivian! DS would have been Penelope if he’d been a third girl.

Very similar taste to most on this list, love Eloise but it’s too close to Louise. We both have sisters Louise and family gathering can be hard.....

Some great ones I’d never considered

Iris
Elodie
Eliza
And all time favourites that didn’t happen first time round
Vivienne
Alice
Cora
Kitty
Penny ect.

Girls names are so hard, thanks for the suggestions xx

Lydia was my first choice girls name, but a family member used it and so my daughter is called Iris. Our other option was Hazel. Just in case we have similar taste!

userabcname · 15/01/2020 08:22

Lydia is a beautiful name. My first thought was Vivienne. Also: Caitlin, Penelope, Beth

I like Stacy, it's not one you hear very often anymore and I think it's quite nice with Lydia.
