So dp and I were chatting earlier and I suggested Liliarna and he really liked it so it's going on the list.

opinions?

I was also thinking if I wanted to I could still call her libby if I went for Liliarna Beatrice? Though Libby and Beatrice are still on the list independently as dp wants to choose when we meet baby.
But then I had decided I wanted my mum's name clare as the middle name so would Liliarna Beatrice clare be a bit much, his surname has 2 syllables?

it is short for Elizabeth, had a long thread on here about a week ago about why I couldn't use Elizabeth, but I was encouraged to go for libby by itself, though I was thinking Liliarna Beatrice would give me more flexibility!

Is it spelt liliana if it's pronounced Lily - arr - nah I don't like lily - Anna.
We have a card game with a character called Liliarna on one of the cards so maybe Liliana is just the usual spelling?

I think it's Liliana (without the 'r'). I used to work with a Russian girl called that and it suited her because she was Russian if you see what I mean? Not sure about it in this case. Love Beatrice and Libby but thought Libby was short for Elizabeth?
