Seems like it’s a pretty solid name then! I’ve never met one but really love the name. Pleased that it’s normal but not overly popular.

Quite a few, of various ages. I teach two secondary aged Lydias, know about three or four in their 20/30s and one or two primary school aged.

Two. One is in her 50s, the other is 4.

Only a whippet.

augustusglupe · 20/10/2019 00:31

None, but I adore the name. If I’d had another DD I would’ve called her Lydia.

Leopardprintboots · 20/10/2019 00:31

Don’t know any. Go to a lot of baby groups

Leopardprintboots · 20/10/2019 00:32

That was meant to say that I don’t know any even though I go to a lot of baby groups

MotherofTerriers · 20/10/2019 00:36

One, early 20s
Wasn’t there a song about Lydia the tattooed lady?

LemonPrism · 20/10/2019 01:11

One aged 24

Grapefruity · 20/10/2019 02:14
  1. Me 😁
Runkle · 20/10/2019 02:48

1, aged 23.

UndomesticHousewife · 20/10/2019 02:53

One. She is 18

ThePurpleMoose · 20/10/2019 03:17

My name is Lydia. I'm 31. There was one other in my year in 6th form, and I work with kids and have seen a couple of toddlers recently, also know of an acquaintance with a baby Lydia. I used to dislike my name as a child but grew into it and now like the fact that it's somewhat unusual.

ShanghaiDiva · 20/10/2019 03:45

one - late 40s
Fab name

pollywobble · 20/10/2019 05:18

One in her 20s, it's a pretty name. I first heard it in Love For Lydia (H E Bates)

Wanderingraspberry · 20/10/2019 05:23

One, she's 8, and fabulous.

PenelopeFlintstone · 20/10/2019 05:26

None and have never met one either.

itswonkylampshade · 20/10/2019 05:26

One! My DD, aged four. She’s a great, confident and caring little character. Haven’t regretted choosing the name for a minute.

Magpiefeather · 20/10/2019 05:39

2 in their 30s
1 in her early 20s

All lovely people

It’s a great timeless, strong but pretty name if you ask me . Love it

sanityisamyth · 20/10/2019 06:01
  1. She's she same age as me (36) as we grew up together.
SunshineAngel · 20/10/2019 06:08

I know two. One is a 22 year old girl who I used to mentor at primary school (so I suppose I don't "know" her anymore), and the other is a friend's daughter who I have never met because we are online friends.

I think it's a lovely name, but definitely uncommon.

Oh there was one at my high school actually in my year, though we never really spoke I don't think.

NationMcKinley · 20/10/2019 06:26

2 - one is in her 50s, the other is 8.

Mumof21989 · 20/10/2019 06:50

I know one in her 20s and one in her 50s, one in her 30s

BanKittenHeels · 20/10/2019 06:54

One in her mid sixties, very interesting woman.

Another aged 34 and genuinely one of the worst human beings I’ve ever had the misfortune to have met.
She has really put me off the name, sadly.
