Any good nicknames for Lydia?

[graysor]

I love the name Lydia, but also like a name to have the option of a shortening or nick name. Are there any sensible nicknames for Lydia? I don’t particularly fancy future dd being known as Lid!

Nicknames come naturally they don’t need to be predetermined

I know a little Lydia whose nn is Liddy which I think it cute on a child

The only Lydia I know is Lydi.

Lydia I know gets lyds

Lydie, Deedee, Lia, Dia...

Auntie

The Lydia I know is Diddy. She's the youngest and it suits her perfectly!

I find it really odd that people would look at a dc and think "chlamydia". Clearly no decent human would do that
My lydia is lydie or Lyds but most call her her full name.

I know a friend of a friend called Lydia, she used to be almost exclusively known as Lyddy but now she's in her late 20s I think she's known more as Lydia. I've known others who get Lyds as well, all lovely nicknames imo and Lydia is a great name. Dee would work too as a nickname I think.

The girls I know called Lydia are all lid, she will get called that by her friends regardless

It's going to be Lyd. It just is.

I have a friend called Lydia and now will think of Chlamydia every time I say her name - thanks guys!! 😩😂

Why would a lovely name like Lydia be changed to Lid?! I'd stick with Lydia, it's easy enough to say.

All the Lydia’s I know are Lids or Liddy for short

Back to the drawing board why? Why not just call her Lydia and not use a shortening?

My OH's name is Michael and his family all call him Michael because his parents never shortened it. Granted, his colleagues and friends call him Mike, but I doubt his parents care because they don't interact much (if at all) with his colleagues and friends!

I think Lydia is a gorgeous name, wish I'd been called that.
I expect she'll be called Liddy or Lidz and both are nice. Then of course there's Lidl......

My name is Lydia, and my boyfriend and bff calls me Lyds. Others have called me Lydsters, Olivia (To annoy me) and a couple others

Wilson.

Sorry but I just think of the muppet song.

I went to school with two Lydias, both in my class so they went by different nns so we wouldn’t get confused: Lydi and Dia. I think both are darling!

Lydia is a beautiful name and I certainly don’t think of chlamydia. The one I know is called Lydie.

My Lydia gets Lyddy or Lyds. Both suit her perfectly and I def don't think bin lid or Chlamydia and no one else hads.

Oh and she called herself Diddy when she learned to say her name which was too cute.

Erm, this baby must already have a name, seeing as this is a zombie thread... Question is did @graysor go for Lydia? (Lyds which I quite like to be fair )

hi! my name's Lydia and I've never liked it nor met a beautiful Lydia in the USA; I had a male friend tell me that and it made me feel awfully unattractive. I was named after my grandmother. so I refuse to be called lydia...therefore my friends and family call my Lia (Lee-Ah), Lydsy, Lili (Lee-Lee), Lydz, Lydie (French spelling) as i am 1/4 French descendant. hope that helps!
Best regards.
