…and all other Lydias, at least the ones in Sweden and Norway. (In Latvia my nameday is January 16th.) Evidently we don’t actually celebrate such things here, though the word puzzle in today’s newspaper featured my name, and I’ve gotten a couple of nice email notes. My favorite finding on the subject: in Sweden there is (of course?) a committee that reviews the list of names every decade for any needed maintenance.
