Love the name Lydia but our surname is a well known Irish name beginning with L is it a no go?

If it's Lynch then no. Lydia Lynch sounds like a character from Horrible Histories who hangs people while looking quite buxom. Anything else should be fine.

I don't think it should be a problem. I don't have a problem with Lydia Lynch either!

How randomCailin!

Course it's not a No Go flopsy (although Flopsy's a great name too! Wink)

Double letter initials are supposed to be a good thing - don't know why. But so long as the two names don't sound odd rolled together, go for it.

Being honest I wouldn't go for Lydia Lynch. It's not just L L it's Ly Ly - bit too matchy matchy for me.

I just dont like alliteration with names at all so would be a no no for me, sorry!

PopcornBiscuit · 09/02/2012 23:24

Probably a no go I'm afraid. What other names do you like? How about Julia, Sadie, Naomi, Bethany?

cece · 09/02/2012 23:29

I love alliterative names, so I think it is probably OK!

yellowflowers · 09/02/2012 23:56

I find alliteration a teensy bit porn star

Dear Lord I must be tired. I read baby name..is this ok..."Flubba" and thought must post as they clearly need help! Must be sleep deprivation.

I'm not fond of the name Lydia due to character association but if you like it I don't see an issue as it's a decent name :D

Now someone please hold this baby so I can sleep

Flubba · 10/02/2012 16:24

I'll hold the baby. Shall I name it Flubba? :o :o

Lydia Leary. I think it's okay. Love the name Lydia.
