Lily and....

[hurtdaughter1234]

Already have a Lily, now need help from the good people of mumsnet choosing a name for her brother/sister!

I don't want another flower name, or anything that rhymes with Lily i.e Tilly or Billy. But apart from that am open minded!

Names I like:

Girl:
Frances
Olivia
Lyra
Annie
Charlotte

Boy:
Henry
Harry
George
Oliver
Isaac

Thanks guys

[MsMarvel]

Delilah would be nice for a girl, Oscar for a boy.

Like all your ideas as well, not sure about lyra with lilly though, saying them both quickly together sounds a bit like a tongue twister.

[CharlieJamie]

Olivia or Oliver/Isaac

[Quasilulu]

Annie and Isaac would be my pick.

[AGnu]

Milo or Miles?

[Flowerpower14]

I think Oliva and Henry. X

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

I wouldn't chose Olivia. - Lily and Livy

William
Benedict
Zachary
James

Francesca
Annabel
Amelia
Arabella

Charlotte might turn into Lottie so you might have a Lily and Lottie - would that be ok with you? I think it's quite sweet.

I would pick Annie but have Annabel/Annabella as a longer version, something for her to grow into and she may want to be called Anna or Belle more then Annie when she knows her own mind. I love Harry and Oliver from your boys list. Both would go very nicely I think. All great names I think :)

[BlueChampagne]

Frances or Oliver

[BlueChampagne]

There's something about how the stress falls that makes Oliver sound better than Olivia with Lily.

[hurtdaughter1234]

Love Francesca and Annabelle!
Also love love love James, but it's my DB's name.....
Good point about Lottie/Livy/Lyra, I hadn't thought of that.

Thank you all, have some chocolate:

[hurtdaughter1234]

Also love Oscar

[ThroughThickAndThin01]

Oscar is nice.

Lily and Oliver are fine. But Lily and Ollie are quite similar and a bit of a tongue twister.

You obviously like the letter L OP.

Dylan? A bit lil n dyl though.

Finn. Freddie. Alfie

[WhiffyBiffer]

Lily and Freddie has a nice ring to it....

[GottaGetThisDone]

I know a Lily with a db Freddie

Lily and James is too Harry Potter for me but i know not everyone gets the connection

Alice
Emma
Rueben
Noah

[lasermum]

Lily and Freddie are twins on the Archers (goes away to lurk back on the Archers threads..............)

[MNetter15]

I love all your names!

What about Lily and Sophia,
Lily and Ella
Lily and Jane

Daniel
David
Noah

[Borntobeamum]

Matilda - Tilly

[SpidersFromMars]

Joseph
Isla

[IwillrunIwillfly]

Could have a Lily and James if you're a Harry Potter fan :)

[mrsschu]

I know siblings Lily and Conrad, and Lily and Josephine.

[WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant]

Not Dylan!

Lili and dyl always get muddled.

Oscar and Annie.

[CremeEggThief]

Frankie would be a nice nickname for Frances or Francesca.
Oscar or Isaac are your boys' names that go best with Lily, IMO.

[ShmooBooMoo]

Without seeing your list, my first instinct was Lily and Laura (overdue a comeback!)

Lily and Frances is nice is you think you'll be able to stop it being shortened to Fran.
Francesca is beautiful but presents the same problem.
Not too fussed on your other four choices.
My favourite girls' name right now is Genevieve (Jenna-Veev). Has potential for Evie as a nickname. It's a beautiful old-fashioned name that still manages to sound current and is not often heard. It complements Lily too, I think.
I also love Sylvie. Lily and Sylvie sound pretty together.

[ShmooBooMoo]

For boys, Henry is good. There are going to be a squillion Georges so I'd avoid. I think Michael would be nice alongside Lily. In fact, Michael Henry is really nice.
Lily and William has a nice ring to it, though Lil and Will, Lilly/ Willy potential? Lily and William/ Will sounds good though...
Lily and Lucas Henry?
Lily and Sean Oliver?
Lily and Jude Francis?

[Bellalilysmith123]

Lily & Harry
