Lily - alternative longer versions

[katie3677]

DH and I both like the name Lily for a DD but as we have a one syllable surname feel we ought to go for the longer version. DH likes Lilian, I don't. Does anyone know any other names that Lily could be short for?

Lilia?

Lilliana?

could you hyphenate - i.e lily-rose lily-may

Lilibet.
Lillibeth.
Lillith.

Elizabeth.

You could probably shorten Elizabeth to Lily

botbot

my friends dd is Lillias

MY grandmother was Elizabeth aka Lily

Lillian, like it.

I like Lilijana

We have a one-syllable surname and all our top picks for DD (including the one we actually used) were simple two-syllable names (Helen, Rachel, Zoe, Emma etc) - I don't think it needs to be lengthened if you prefer Lily.

Lillet

oh shit no, that tampons and i was so pleased with myself for thinking of that one

Lily is lovely as it is though

Heavenly Hiraani Tiger Lily

Thanks for all the suggestions. My problem is that our surname is Bott, and I am wondering if it is cruel to call a child Lily Bott. What do you think?

Lillianna

Lillianna.... I love this name

My grandmother was also Elizabeth, nickname Lily. I love those names.

I don't think Lily M(m)ay Bott sounds that great.

Elizabeth Bott is a fictional character isn't she?
