Middle name for Lydia

We are stuck on a middle name that goes with Lydia. Please can you rate / comment on our suggestions and it would be great to hear any additional ones. Surname begins with a B and so we’d probably avoid names beginning with B.
Lydia Esther
Lydia Alice
Lydia Christina
Lydia Holly
Thanks in advance.

I think Lydia Esther is fine and worth going with if it has meaning to you. I also like Lydia Alice and Lydia Jasmine. I think Lydia Christina is too clunky.

Lydia Rose is my favourite. Lydia Jasmine is kind of hard to pronounce somehow.

Love Lydia Rose

I love Alice, but not sure how well it goes with Lydia.

I don't think Lydia Esther goes sorry. It's sounds too blunt and harsh.
How about Lydia Estelle. Its not too dissimilar from Esther

Just spoke to DP and he likes Lydia Jasmine and Rose. What do people think of Lydia Esther - it’s a family name but not sure of the combination.

Ooh, I like Jasmine.

Aorh · 21/09/2021 19:07

I’d avoid Alice as the A-A bit is a bit jarring for me (although 2 of my favourite names so I get the appeal)

I’d go one or two syllables.

Lydia Alice is nice.
