Boys name to go with Lydia

56 replies

DH and I are really struggling to agree on a boys name and I'm looking for fresh ideas to go with a sister called Lydia.

Boy's middle name will be Abraham (family name)

Lydia is lovely.

I think it would go with something equally "classic but not top ten" . And I think 2 syllables work with a three syllable middle name.

Matthew, Charles, David, Reuben, Joseph, Edward.

Anything classic works with Lydia imo, it’s a lovely choice. If you want a similar style for a boy I’d avoid anything either too trendy or too unusual sounding.

You could either go for another fairly popular but timeless classic - Alexander, William, Edward, Thomas, Daniel, Joseph, James etc

Or go for currently underused classics such as Laurence, Nicholas, John, Robert etc.

Thank you so much for all these suggestions. I have a few more names to suggest to DH from here.

I think we are pretty safe with our surname initial but there are a couple of words from it so we'll be sure to think of that.

actually- I think most classic boys names would go well. Lydia is a lovely timeless name

Lydia is a very universal name so I expect most names in the top 20 would suit. However, when I say “Lydia and …”, the name David comes to mind. They sound very traditional but if you want a more modern twist then maybe Ezra or Felix or Nathaniel.

Jak 👍 I have a daughter called Lydia 😊
