Only ever known one. Went to school with her 30 years ago. I think it’s timeless and a great name.

Paddingtonthebear · 19/10/2019 22:45

The adult Lydia’s are both under 30 I think

imnottoofussed · 19/10/2019 22:46

Just one aged 18

Mammy2Sonny · 19/10/2019 22:46

My sister is called Lydia she is 31. I love the name. It's different without being silly.

motortroll · 19/10/2019 22:46

2 at the moment, one is early 20s, one is about 7.

I have taught a couple but it's not common.

A very pretty name!

I know one Lydia she was a dreadful individual and due to an incident at work I had to take her though a disciplinary process........ other than that I haven’t met anyone else

I don't know if it's a glaswegian thing because we do run words together here
But Lydia up here would most likely get Lydia kettle?? Or Lydia dustbin??

KronksSpinachPuffs · 19/10/2019 22:50

I can only think of 1 that I know of and shes in her early 20s

Leflic · 19/10/2019 22:50

My Lydia’s are super posh but a bit quirky. One 30’s, one in her teens. Both nice if a bit self absorbed ( but not nastily) .

RaininSummer · 19/10/2019 23:08

My best friend at school was Lydia so she must be nearly 60 now

Northernlurker · 19/10/2019 23:27

At least five. But we are active Christians and it's a popular name in church circles. We know lots of Esthers and Hannahs too. And Naomis....
