Lydia

[GreyGoose1980]

What do people think of the name Lydia? Thanks

Always makes me think of chlamydia

Love it. Still kind of regret that DD isn’t called Lydia but DH didn’t like it.

I have a Lydia and love it. She’s a teen and has never called chlamydia. Can’t help thinking that says more about the mnetter than a realistic issue with the name. It’s an unusual bit lovely name. I know 3 and all are absolutely wonderful teens, polite and friendly.

I love it-DS's girlfriend is called lydia and she is 27.

Really nice name and not too overexposed

Lydia is lovely. Really nice name.

I don't like it - it's the ditzy bride in Four Weddings or the insufferable Bennet daughter. I've also heard the 'lydia teapot' and 'chlamydia' reference in RL, so it puts me off the name.

I love it. I know a really feisty funny one which has just made me love the name even more.

Thanks all. It’s outside the top 100 names so good to hear of a few other Lydias. Think we will probably use it if I can keep DH on board.

A beautiful name but a bit dated.

I absolutely love it.
Lydia and Lyvia are two of my favourite names.

Love it 100%

Poor Lydia Bennet. She was 15, bored, and horny that meant she made some unwise choices when faced with a flirty rogue in regimentals.

I like the name.

I love this synopsis.

Lydia is a great name

So long as you are not planning a move to the west of Scotland its lovely

Up here she would get called lydia kettle (say it in a Glasgow accent if you don't understand)

That was my mother's favourite "knock knock" joke except that her version was Lydia Dustbin.

I love Lydia

I think of the mean aunt in Hand Maids Tale. Sorry

I think it's a lovely name, and strikes a good balance between not being too popular but also being easy to spell and pronounce.

Lydia the Tattooed Lady

Really dislike Lydia, dont like the way it sounds and find it a bit dull

Beautiful name

Absolutely beautiful and classic name ❤️

Thanks everyone.

I love this name and it was my great grand mothers name too so was on our list. But for me it's important that my dd's name has nice role models and aunt Lydia really ruined this for me. She is the most horrible character on all tv, such a pity!

I used to love it until I discovered that "lidia" means bullfighting in Spanish.

It’s a fairly international name as names go. You’re never going to get a name that will travel perfectly in every language.

In Germany some areas pronounce it Loo dia which is also pretty.

Once you give the name to your child, it becomes their name. Mine is beautiful and adores her name. If everyone loved it, it would become ubiquitous.

Love it
