Middle name for Lydia?

36 replies

happydramatic · 24/11/2021 13:13

So, baby girl due in a few months and we like the name Lydia. Any middle name suggestions?

Current thinking is;
Louise, Grace, Kate.

Or alternative (but similar) first names to Lydia?

Thanks

Lydia Louise has a nice flow

Luredbyapomegranate · 24/11/2021 23:54

I like Lydia - Lydia Frances, Lydia Katherine, Lydia Alice, Lydia Margaret, Lydia Harriet, Lydia Charlotte

I think you want to avoid a three syllable name followed by one syllable name if possible, as it's become such a cliche combination

Esther, Louisa, Caroline, Honor, Stella, Catriona, Miriam, Serena could be alternatives

I like alliteration so would go with Lydia Louise. It makes me think of the Julia Donaldson book about a girl called Lydia Lou.

Similar to Lydia (which is a lovely name), have you thought about Livia?

Bumpsadaisie · 24/11/2021 21:39

My immediate thought was Lydia Jane.

Ethelfromnumber73 · 24/11/2021 21:39

Also really like Lydia Jane.

I have a Lydia and had a Grace!
Her middle names are a bit of an identifiable thing but one is Julianne. She has middle names after her grandmothers
I’d go for Lydia May or Lydia louise maybe

itsgettingwierd · 24/11/2021 20:25

Lydia Brace and Lydia Rose came to my mind.

Plus

Lydia Faye
Lydia Anne
Lydia Eve
Lydia May
Lydia Paige

I would avoid a vowel name which needs a glottal stop.

ErrolTheDragon · 24/11/2021 20:08

@WildStallyn

I was going to say Grace before I read the post. I think that flows really well

Me too.

ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba · 24/11/2021 20:04

I seriously consider Lydia at some point and would've gone for Lydia Rose or Lydia Eve

I can't hear anything after Lydia except teapot. Maybe that's a Scottish thing...

Another vote for Lydia Kate.

And as for Lydia Chlamydia 🙄🙄 if kids are going to tease someone, they will find a reason no matter what your name is!
