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

frasersmummy · 19/10/2019 22:48

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....

None! I’ve never met any during my 15 years teaching, or at any other time of my life either.
