I though Lilian might distinguish her from all the other Lilys, but we could use Lily as a shortened form.

I think if you want to call her Lily then there is no point calling her Lilian.

When will she be called Lilian?

Love it. Lilian. sound great. And, when she is a teenager, she can chose whether she is Lily or lilian.

When she is a doctor she can be Dr Lilian but I think Lily is cute on a little girl.

One of my aunts is Lillian, but has never been called by that. She hates it.

Ah, well I already have a Lily-Rose but am thinking of changing it to Lilian Rose as am worried her name is too popular. Don't really want a hyphen name again, I regret giving her a hyphen name. The alternative is to keep her name as it is, but ditch the hyphen.

I like Lillian. She happens to be a very feisty (older) character in the Archers.
