Middle name for Lydia?

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 Smile

There's a YouTuber called Lydia whose middle name is Elise and I always thought that sounded a lovely name x

Lydia Florence
Lydia Josephine

Linnea is similar to Lydia and won’t get the Lydia Chlamydia comments.

Oh and Pearl.

I think you’re right that one syllable works best, my favourite is Lydia Kate, though Grace is also nice, just ubiquitous as a middle. That may or may not matter to you. I actually quite like the alliteration of Lydia Louise. Other suggestions -
Maeve
Faith
Joy
Hope
Faye
Nell
Jean
June
Eve
Rose
Niamh
Wren
Jane
Mae / May

I was thinking of Lydia Grace too. Two lovely timeless names.

I think a single syllable middle name goes well with Lydia - so Lydia Kate, Lydia Grace, Lydia Rose etc. Others include
May or Mae
Bea
Jane
Eve
Fern
Faye

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