Audrey or Lydia?

in Baby Names

Girls names seem to be much harder for me. The boy's name, I have down.

Right now, it's a toss-up between Audrey Grace and Lydia Louise. Grace and Louise are my grandmothers' names so one of those will be the middle name. I know Grace is really popular right now, but it's a mn so I am not that concerend.

Other names that I considered, but set aside in favor of Audrey or Lydia were Tabitha and Eloise.

Single Mother by Choice. Life didn't work out the way I planned so I did it on my own. IUI #s 1-3, unmedicated = BFN, IUI #s 4-6, 50mg Clomid, Ovidrel = BFN IVF #1: 23R, 20M, 17F. 5 day transfer 2 blasts. 2 Snowbabies BFP 6dp5dt, Beta #1 7dp5dt = 58, Beta #2 9dp5dt = 114, Beta #3 10dp5dt = 187 1st Ultrasound = 5/3, not much to see yet. 2nd Ultrasound = 5/17, TWINS!!! Hospital Bed Rest at 32 weeks due to pre-ecclampsia and severe edema. Audrey Grace, 5lbs9oz, & Lydia Louise, 6lbs, born via emergency c-section on 12/6/12 at 36w1d My IVF Journey

    Agreed. Personal preference makes me lean toward Lydia, but they are equally good names.

    With the pairings you've listed, I would pick Audrey Grace.  However, I actually like Lydia much more than Audrey - I just don't like it paired with Louise.  Lydia Grace would get my vote if it were listed as an option.

    I'd probably go with Lydia here. :) I also love Tabitha and Eloise. I've never truly cared for Audrey, although it's a nice name.

    I almost suggested Lydia Grace, too! :)

    I dont like Lydia at all. Audrey Grace is a gorgeous name, the epitome of classic names!

    Audrey all the way!  I am not a fan of Lydia at all, it sounds very dated to me, and not in a classic sort of way like Audrey.

    Audrey! I love it and I would have liked to use it except that we have a close-ish family friend named Audrey and also, 2 syllable names that end in -y don't sound good with our last name.

    And as for Grace being so popular (especially as a middle name), who cares? It's beautiful. That's like saying I won't walk down the aisle to Pachelbel's Canon in D because it's the most popular song right now. There's a reason for that! Go ahead!

    My 2 year old is Lydia Grace... so clearly that's my preference, though we liked Audrey too.

    I prefer Lydia.  Mostly because my extended family (cousins' kids) has 3 Audreys in it.  No isabelle/isabellas, no emilys, no sophias, but 3 Audreys.  WEIRD!

    And I think Grace is lovely, but it feels like the Lynn or Anne middle name for this generation of kids.

    I LOVE Lydia. It's pretty and not very common. I don't like it with Louise though personally.
