Lydia for a girl obviously, and Marcus for a boy?

Like? dislike? bland?
anything else in the same style?

I love love love Lydia. It is fast becoming my favourite girls name and I wish I had thought of it for dd (who is Emily)

I like Marcus too. Ds's friend has a 6 year old brother called Marcus - great name!

I really like Lydia. I don't 'love' Marcus, but its a fine, sensible, proper name. I know one and he is a little bugger, but in a nice way.

Sorry don't like either of them.

I know that this is going to sound silly but I think they are ok as adults names but I just don't like them for children.

I don't really like Marcus. Lydia is nice though ( my baby sisters name).

My sister is the only Lydia in her secondary school and DS2 only has one in his primary, so not too over used either.

I really like them both.

I love Lydia but I don't much care for Marcus.

I have a Lydia, and still love it. She's the only one in school atm (was one other who left last year whilst DD was in Nursery) I've heard the odd one or two when we've been out, but it's fairly distinctive still.

I quite like Marcus too.

hey, BOF, that's a good brief to follow!

Both nice - not too over-used, but not upyerarse "let's be unique" either.
