Lydia?

[Mummytoboyxx]

What do you think to Lydia? It’s the only name that I’ve suggested that DH likes. TIA xx

I like it

Lydia is beautiful

Teapot. They will called Teapot.

Apparently Lydia was on the list for me when my parents were expecting and my dad always joked that he helped me dodge a bullet there.... Lydia dustbin

Don’t. My friend is called Lydia and since school gets called Lydia Chlamydia. Even now at nearly 40, she gets called it! Go for something similar instead.

I love Lydia, I think it’s a beautiful name. But as it rhymes with chlamydia, I wouldn’t use it as other children can be really cruel with names at school.

My sister is called Lydia, she’s also never been called Chlamydia.

I love it. I had it on my list.

I love it, it was at the top of my list for DD but unfortunately DH wasn't keen 😞

Never seen Lyvia, but Livia is a 'real' Italian name

Love it. Only ever know one (now an adult) who has never had any horrid nicknames.

My mum wanted to call me Lydia but my dad put her off by suggesting kids would call me "Lydia Dustbin" (lid of your dustbin)

My first thoughts are Aunt Lydia, tearaway Lydia from Pride and Prejudice and a towie character. But everyone else seems to like it so probably best to ignore me!

A lovely name.

Are the posters who say they immediately think «chlamydia» twelve years old?

Thanks everyone for your responses

I love the name but it does make me think immediately of two people, Lydia (Winona Ryder) from Beetlejuice and "Aunt Lydia" from Handmaid's take. But that's just me and where my brain goes.

I think of Kermit the Frog singing Lydia O Lydia, Oh have you met Lydia

I love it

I like Lydia. As previous posters have said, Livia (not Lyvia) is an Italian name. It's been around for 2000 years and more - it was the name of the wife of the ancient Roman emperor Augustus.

Roman naming systems were quite complicated, but women were often given a feminine form of their father's family/clan name en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naming_conventions_for_women_in_ancient_Rome
Livia was the daughter of the splendidly named Marcus Livius Drusus Claudianus.
