@Onecattwocats

No honestly, they're all characters from the same show. Which also features a Lydia.

@Onecattwocats It's a handmaid tale's reference, not a serious suggestion (hopefully!)

Not so sure about that judging by the other names in the same suggested list…

CeeJay81 · 01/02/2023 09:39

My dd8 is Lydia and I love it. To me it's fairly traditional but still trendy enough, it's international and it's not too popular.. like Olivia etc. My dd is the only one in her school which is lovely.

Other names on my short list were
Melissa
Felicity
Harriet

ComfortablyDazed · 01/02/2023 06:47

The OP says she likes a couple of slightly left-field names, and the first suggestion is Sophia, basically the most popular name of all time?! Grin

Hobbesmanc · 01/02/2023 06:45

Norah, Lorna , Daphne, Ursula, Julia, Claudine,

Maeve is getting popular now. I've a couple in my circle. Maybe Queen Maeve from The Boys has heightened its profile. It's a shame Mavis is still a little Coronation a street cos it looks pretty

Lydia is lovely.
