None, it was my number one girl name for my twin boys.
Phoebe or Olive would have been her sister.

100PercentThatBitch · 19/10/2019 21:47

One, 20s, lovely person

mnahmnah · 19/10/2019 21:48

I don’t know any, but it was one of our favourites for a girl ( we had boys! ) and I’ve never thought of it as an old lady name.

Lazysundays18 · 19/10/2019 21:49

I know one. She's 6 months old. My friend has encountered a couple at baby classes.

parrotonmyshoulder · 19/10/2019 21:51

One who is 13.
Would have loved it for DD but doesn’t work with our surname.

BrutusMcDogface · 19/10/2019 21:53

I know two six year old Lydias! Great name 😊 My friend hates the nickname “lyds” but you can guarantee that her friends will call her that when she’s older!

HoldMyPhone · 19/10/2019 21:53

None of the associations are or have put me off!

One aged 12...lovely girl shame about her mother who has put me off the name Lydia

It’s a lovely name but she quite often gets called Lyddie-Loo or Lyds which are both ugly Mn’s.

Warminstermum · 19/10/2019 21:57

nn’s not MN’s...

rainbowlou · 19/10/2019 22:06

My dd was at school with 3 and they’re now 20/21.
I work in a school and haven’t met any in the last 15 yrs.

PhantomErik · 19/10/2019 22:08

1 & she's 5 Smile

Harvey3 · 19/10/2019 22:08

A few of different ages - lovely name

smeerf · 19/10/2019 22:10

One, 33, Squid for short.

BrutusMcDogface · 19/10/2019 22:12

Squid is awesome 😁

Mamagunner · 19/10/2019 22:13

1 and she's 8

bakesalesally · 19/10/2019 22:33

Two.

CheesyCheshireCat · 19/10/2019 22:36

I have a Lidia! She's 9 months. We went with this spelling because we're a dual nationality family living abroad so we've taken the local spelling. She's mostly known as Liddie though. I know one other, in her late 30s. I LOVE her name

CheesyCheshireCat · 19/10/2019 22:37

Warminstermum my Liddie is often called Liddie-Lou too. No idea why!

OkayGo · 19/10/2019 22:40

Just one in her 30s. Was quite an unusual name for our age though.

squee123 · 19/10/2019 22:43

one in her mid twenties. I think of it as a young name

Stravapalava · 19/10/2019 22:44

No young Lydias. Just one acquaintance who is about 50-60. I love the name though!

Paddingtonthebear · 19/10/2019 22:45

I work in a team of 15 and we have two Lydia’s. Plus I know one child Lydia

Marcipex · 19/10/2019 22:45

None at all.
