stuck now!

Picked the name Lydia as I was reading pride and prejudice and fell in love with it, mil name is rose so partner picked that, so it's Lydia rose. Have recently found out that is the name of a pillock on the only way is Essex and I DESPISE that program with a passion, was any one else reminded of her? If more people don't then that's my lo's name!

I wouldn't worry about it, TOWIE won't be around in a year's time, I've seen more episodes than is good for me and I definitely didn't make the link.

Don't let it put you off the name.

I've never seen TOWIE, but apparently there is someone on it with the same name as DD (19 months). Doesn't worry me in the slightest. I associate Lydia with Austen, not Essex! I can't be the only one.

Although in fairness Austen's Lydia was probably a much bigger trollop than Towie's Lydia.

Lol true, hadn't got that far into the book though, was kindly pointed that out by my lovely mother!

Lydia Rose is really beautiful and lots of people have never even seen TOWIE, and those who have will not know your DD's full name anyway.

Thanks ladies, very reassuring.

Lydia Rose is a beautiful name please don't let it put you off. I would love to have used Lydia but as our surname begins with LY it was a no go

I'd think of Lydia Bennett in P&P, or HE Bates' 'Love for Lydia'

I think it's a lovely name.

I wouldn't have made a TOWIE connexion because I've never seen it. And I doubt it will be anything more than a brief and not that widespread association, especially in comparison to Austen.

I thought of TOWIE before you mentioned it but I'm incredibly sad. I've always thought her name was nice anyway. And also, she's no longer on it so will be even sooner forgotten.

My mum actually hates it, I think it's possibly because I work at lidl and it reminds her of that, she says she's gonna call her lidl Lydia! Ive told her I will flick her in the nose if she dares!

Lydia is a delightful name. Ignore TOWIE and go for it!

I've never seen TOWIE so my first thought was that it was a really pretty name. Go for it!

Lydia is nice. It's classic and pretty, and Austen's Lydia is hilarious (and a trollop!). I know nothing about TOWIE.

I've never seen TOWIE, so no connection there.

Lydia Rose is lovely!

I've never heard of the towie one.

I didn't call my dd a name I had chosen as a celebrity used is six weeks before my due date. I've regretted t ever since. Nobody would remember her dds name now, six years later.

Lovely name.

As I don't even pay attention to the ads for towie I've never heard about that connection.

Never heard of Lydia Rose and I watch a fair amount of crap tv (though not TOWIE). I think if it were 2 unusual names together it may make more of a connection to people but, as Rose is a fairly popular (but lovely) middle name, no one will think you've named DD after her. Really pretty name by the way.

Don't worry about that program, passing fad. I love the name (and also think Lydia Bennett) but my Dad said Lydia Jar / Lydia Teapot every time I mentioned it until I took it off the list :/

Sleepingbeautiful, my mum does the same!

Annoying! Definitely a don't tell what you've picked til the baby's here name then! I bet they won't do it then. It'll be all ohhh isn't little Lydia SO adorable :)

I thought it was lovely and I never made a TOWIE connection either.

Our second son has a name of an emerging pop star at the time of his birth. No one has linked his name to the star, who although isn't as big 11 years later,is still around.

Like StickPin said, Lydia left Towie a while ago. Also she was a lovely girl with the self-respect to dump her cheating bf. She had great vintage clothes too, very non-typical Towie, OH always said how much class she had (Towie on series-record )
