Anne?

No doubt someone will suggest Rose. They always do.

DisenchantedPlusBump · 06/08/2008 15:02

Anne is a bit middle aged, lol. Our librarian is Anne

Not Rose or May/ Mae.

Something a bit different maybe.

And May!

branflake81 · 06/08/2008 15:06

Claire?

Victoria?

Kate?

Imogen?

Eleanor?

I think a long name to go with the short surname, say:

Lydia Elizabeth Sale
Lydia Fracesca Sale
Lydia Margaret Sale
Lydia Catherine Sale

Or possibly a family surname if there is one that you like, like a grandmother's surname or something.

What about Lydia Aurora Sales?

The Tattoo'd Lady? I used to love that song, it was on my Muppets LP.

My Great Aunt's name was Lydia.

How about Lydia Jane?

Getting a bit carried away now.

Primrose

I've named my daughter to be. I've got to express my poncetastic urges somewhere.

Go for ponce.

It's only a middle name, no one will know

LadyThompson · 06/08/2008 15:37

Oooh, Christmas! There was a Christmas names thread a week or two ago.

I was quite taken with Mistletoe.

Guess I'm on my own there.

MaryMungo · 06/08/2008 15:40

Anyone who hears "Her name is Lydia Noelle" and chooses to hear it as "No 'L'" is taking the pss, and will take the pss no matter which name you choose, so I would take no notice of them whatsoever

HolidaysQueen · 06/08/2008 15:40

Why do you need a middle name? If you can't think of one instantly that you like or that is a family name then why bother? I think Lydia Sales is a gorgeous name as it stands I don't have a middle name and have never ever needed one or felt that I've missed out by not having one. My parents couldn't think of a name to go with my first name and they don't have middle names either so they decided there was no point trying to force it and I've coped just fine without

roccoco · 06/08/2008 15:45

Lydia is gorgeous. That was on my list for my son

I suggest Lydia Joy or Lydia Maeve

Somebody suggested Lydia Rachel and that sounds good too.
