I had a baby on Tuesday and named her....

Our 5th baby (3rd daughter) was born on Tuesday. After much debate and lots of indecision we named her Lydia Frances. She is beautiful of course and I am just so pleased to have found a name that I finally felt was 'the one'.

Just thought I'd let you all know.

I'm sooooo happy!

Congratulations.

Lovely name Smile

Congratulations and glad you're happy with the name, as long as you love it you can't go wrong :)

ChippingInLovesSpring · 25/05/2013 18:10

Congratulations :)

It must be even harder to find a name you love by baby number 5, so you have done very well on that score too!

How lovely.

I love Lydia and some of the nicest people I know are Frances.

Many congratulations

Thank you!

That's the thing, I don't mind if no one else particularly likes it, or even hates it, because I just love it. I had convinced myself that I would end up settling for a name that was just OK.

Oh I love the name Lydia! (ok, I'm now wibbling, I'm due to have a c section a week on Tuesday and I thought I had my 'girl name' sorted, Lydia was on the long list and for some reason I overlooked putting it on the short list, I now really am debating changing my mind...)

EllenJanesthickerknickers · 25/05/2013 18:28

Lovely name. I was sure it was going to be 'Tuesday' from you title, though. Grin

Congratulations! Lovely name :)

I thought the same as Ellen that you were going to say you'd named her Tuesday!

ExcuseTypos · 25/05/2013 18:40

Lovely choice, congratulations OP.

I love the name. Three of my favourite women in the world (my auntie and the two best teachers I ever had) are Frances. It was high on my list if we'd had girls.

And Lydia is beautiful. Elegant and distinctive.

miffybun73 · 25/05/2013 21:53

Congratulations, really beautiful name - I love it :)

What are you other DCs called ?

My other girls are Grace and Kimberly, so quite different really.

When people ask her name, I want to say the whole thing, not just her first name! I am on such a high right now. I'm so in love with her.
