Lydia for a girl obviously, and Marcus for a boy?

Like? dislike? bland?
anything else in the same style?

U've always fiound Lydia a bit prim and stiff.

Much prefer Mark. But I know that a Lydia person is always going to prefer Marcus

Lydia is on our (very) short list. My mother hasn't stopped whingeing since I told her as she used to go to school with a horrible girl called Lydia. 50 years ago! Lydia is a beautiful name, classic and timeless.

love lydia

My advice... decide on the big baby day....!

They are lovely names, keep your short list and be surprised on the day. You will just know when you see them for the first time when they are placed on your chest... I was obsessed with name choosing but ended up choosing a name I never even considered when he arrived!

All the best

I like Lydia a lot but not Marcus, probably because I've taught a couple of not-so-great Marcuses. How about Lucas?

I have a problem with Marcus...I know someone with this name who is an a**e and struggle to get over this. Objectively it should be a good name.

Love Lydia.

Very Romanesque tastes .

Actually, I agree with Sairs on that. DD wasn't Lydia until she was a day old - she'd actually been Sofia, since the 20 week scan! Sometimes you need to see them first

I like them both. Lydia is beautiful!

Lydia is in our top 3. So that's approval!
