How many Norah’s or Lydia’s do you know?

[cakesandphotos]

Just that really? I want a lovely name but I would rather they not be one of 4 in their class as I was! DH and I both agree on these names although I think I’m swaying more towards Norah.

None

No Norahs, a few Lydias. I love Norah.

Don't know any, prefer Norah.

1 Lydia.
0 Norahs

I know an adult Lydia and 2 year old Lydia.

Not met a Norah in real life. Makes me thing of the singer Norah.

Beautiful names.

Both lovely names. I don’t know any.

Never met a Norah. I knew a Lydia at school

None

In the official 2016 baby name stays for England and Wales, Lydia was ranked at no. 100, Norah at no. 347 and Nora at no. 283.

So I think it's unlikely that a Lydia / Norah / Nora will be meeting lots of namesakes their own age, although these things can never be guaranteed.

A couple of Noras (one baby, one teen), no Norahs with an h and 1 adult Lydia.

One, my daughter :)

1 Nora in her 80s no Norah's

3 Lydia's - 30, 18 and 1

One toddler Norah, two adult Lydias.

No Norahs
One Lydia who is late teens - early twenties

One Norah who is about nine and no Lydia's.

My friend has just given birth and named the baby Norah.

I don’t know any Lydia’s but I love this name

One of each. Norah did not like her name!

A few Norahs or Noras (all teens) but no Lydias.

One Nora around 40 yo; one Lidia around 50 yo.

None!

Norah - none
Lydia - one (age 4)

I much prefer Lydia

It's becoming an outdated cultural reference now I suppose, but I immediately think of Norah Batty from the old sitcom 'Last of the Summer Wine'. Her of the wrinkly stockings.

Norah Jones is gorgeous though.

Lydia is lovely, there are a few around but I don't think it's mega popular.

One Nora, but she's my cat!

I know 2 Lydia's and have heard the name around a bit. I'm surprised it's only at 100 but you do find a lot of regional variations in 'popular' names.

Don't know any Noras.

NORAH ALL THE WAY. I detest lydia. The name. The people names lydia ive met in life. Eugh. Sorry not sorry
