Boys name to go with Lydia

56 replies

howtochooseaname · 06/04/2025 18:36

DH and I are really struggling to agree on a boys name and I'm looking for fresh ideas to go with a sister called Lydia.

Boy's middle name will be Abraham (family name)

We have a Lydia and our boy names were:

William
Elliott
Finn
Otis

we had 2 more girls so never had to actually use any.

Jak 👍 I have a daughter called Lydia 😊

Lydia is a very universal name so I expect most names in the top 20 would suit. However, when I say “Lydia and …”, the name David comes to mind. They sound very traditional but if you want a more modern twist then maybe Ezra or Felix or Nathaniel.

Another Sebastian choice here

also:

Barnaby
Francis
Albert
George
Edward
Daniel

actually- I think most classic boys names would go well. Lydia is a lovely timeless name

Charles. No idea why.

Four weddings and a funeral?

Thank you so much for all these suggestions. I have a few more names to suggest to DH from here.

I think we are pretty safe with our surname initial but there are a couple of words from it so we'll be sure to think of that.

Anything classic works with Lydia imo, it’s a lovely choice. If you want a similar style for a boy I’d avoid anything either too trendy or too unusual sounding.

You could either go for another fairly popular but timeless classic - Alexander, William, Edward, Thomas, Daniel, Joseph, James etc

Or go for currently underused classics such as Laurence, Nicholas, John, Robert etc.
