The only name there I really dislike is Noah (and it is way over-used.) Simon is a good traditional not over-used name.
I prefer Bronwen spelling.

Both Bronwyn and Simon, and Lydia and Simon are great pairs.

Newearringsplease · 15/09/2019 06:12

I've got a Bronwyn

proseccoaficionado · 15/09/2019 06:21

Lydia and Noah❤️

DontForgetToDeadhead · 15/09/2019 06:23

Hopefully someone Welsh can come at confirm/rubbish this in a minute but I thought that the "wyn" ending implied male? So if it's a girl she should be Bronwen. I could be wrong though!

I like Noah and Bronwen - they seem like nicer, rounder, names to me. Simon and Lydia seem a bit harsh in comparison.

Shmithecat2 · 15/09/2019 07:18

@DontForgetToDeadhead yes, 'wyn' is masculine in Welsh. Bronwyn is the anglicized of Bronwen. So Bronwyn for a girl in England is ok. I have a female cousin (Welsh dad, English mum) called Bronwyn.

Thanks Shmithecat2

I like Lydia and Simon

nonmerci · 15/09/2019 08:15

Lydia and Noah. I’m not particularly keen on Noah but Simon is ghastly. Simple Simon.

RoseMartha · 15/09/2019 08:16

Lydia and Simon

Marinetta · 15/09/2019 08:17

Lydia and Simon

whizzpopbangalang · 15/09/2019 08:24

I actually know a couple called Lydia and Simon, in their 40s. Lovely people but very dated names and frumpy names imo. Other choices are lovely

Icantthinkofanynewnames · 15/09/2019 09:50

I really dislike Simon and Bronwyn, but the other two are nice!

KronksSpinachPuffs · 15/09/2019 16:39

Lydia and Noah are nice, strongly dislike the other two options

Sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav · 15/09/2019 19:04

Love Lydia. I would go with noah over Simon but that's only because my ex was Simon 🙄

diddlediddle · 15/09/2019 19:59

I hate it when the OP doesn't come back to respond to people's opinions!

What are you thinking OP?

IckleBear · 15/09/2019 20:35

Lydia and Noah

IsobelRae23 · 16/09/2019 00:09

Lydia and Noah but I don’t actually like any of them sorry

WineIsMyCarb · 16/09/2019 00:16

Lydia is v elegant and posh (nicely so)
Simon is a great name - you never meet a Simon who is a twat.
Doesn't really 'go' with Lydia but I don't think names really do have to 'go'.
Noah is very popular.
Bronwyn is nice. Not as nice as Lydia.

MikeUniformMike · 16/09/2019 06:54

Bronwen is lovely. Bronwyn is awful.
Bronwen is welsh. Many welsh names end in -wyn or -wen.
The -wyn names are for boys, and the -wen names are for girls.
Bronwyn isn't a boy's name, it's a misspelt girl's name.

Anerak · 16/09/2019 07:02

Definitely Bronwyn and Noah, how beautiful

Grufallosfriends · 16/09/2019 10:49

Lydia and Simon! How beautiful.

I really don't like Bronwyn - it's so unfeminine. And Noah sounds so soft and like the sound Nooo!

Wavyheaded · 16/09/2019 14:27

I only like Noah. However Lydia over Bronwyn, though would rather not have either tbh...

FizzyGreenWater · 16/09/2019 16:49

Bronwyn sounds unfeminie because it absolutely is! The name is Bronwen.

FizzyGreenWater · 16/09/2019 16:50

Not a huge fan of any of the names btw!

Simon and Noah are both ok.

Lydia reminds me of nasty little Lydia Bennet from P&P.

Bronwen is slightly lumpen. Bronwyn even more so.

Cheerfullygo4 · 16/09/2019 16:57

Lydia and Simon are lovely. Noah is too popular now and Bronwyn is a lumpy name.
