Name for Lily's brother

21 replies

Hey all, I am expecting a boy, a brother for Lily Matilda.

We tend to gravitate towards the more popular names for some reason and obviously having a Lily we do not have an issue with popularity!

Our list is

Harry
Dylan
Finn
Luca or maybe Lucas
Leon

Are Lily & Leon and Lily and Luca a bit of a mouthful?

Finn goes well with Lily and is a good 'firm' sounding name iyswim

Lily is quite an old traditional name so i would suggest

Henry
George
Tom
Edward
Lawrence

type names to go with it.

Thanks for the replies. Thank you for the suggestions cece but I'm really not keen on Tom, George type names. They're even a bit too boring for me!
The names I've listed are all old traditional names btw! I'm not into made up modern names.

Harry, Finn or Dylan I think as I think the two L thing is a bit rhymey.

I've got Lewis and Noah.

Obviously Lily and Lewis have the same first letter. But Lily and Noah sounds nice

I like all of your shortlisted names. I would probably avoid using the same initial for siblings ideally. Out of the others, I would pick Harry (like Henry even more) or Finn (but like Finlay/ Finnian more).

Billy

or even Willy

(You could join forces with Davina - she has Holly, Tilly & Chester. I was v disappointed Chester didn't get Billy or Willy tbh)

I have a Lily and Cameron amongst others

If this DD3 had been a boy he would have been George or Leon.

Finn is lovely too.

Finn or Harry (prefer Henry).
