Middle name for Lydia?

So, baby girl due in a few months and we like the name Lydia. Any middle name suggestions?

Current thinking is;
Louise, Grace, Kate.

Or alternative (but similar) first names to Lydia?

Thanks Smile

@WildStallyn

I was going to say Grace before I read the post. I think that flows really well

Me too.

I would avoid a vowel name which needs a glottal stop.

I have a Lydia and had a Grace!
Her middle names are a bit of an identifiable thing but one is Julianne. She has middle names after her grandmothers
I’d go for Lydia May or Lydia louise maybe

I like alliteration so would go with Lydia Louise. It makes me think of the Julia Donaldson book about a girl called Lydia Lou.

Similar to Lydia (which is a lovely name), have you thought about Livia?

I like Lydia - Lydia Frances, Lydia Katherine, Lydia Alice, Lydia Margaret, Lydia Harriet, Lydia Charlotte

I think you want to avoid a three syllable name followed by one syllable name if possible, as it's become such a cliche combination

Esther, Louisa, Caroline, Honor, Stella, Catriona, Miriam, Serena could be alternatives

Lydia Louise has a nice flow
