Middle name for Lily?

Porgs · 19/01/2018 08:52

We are set on Lily for a first name (sorry if that's boring or common!) but stuck with a middle name. Would have ideally liked to use the middle name as a way to honour a relative or something meaningful but we can't think of anything suitable for that.

As it stands she may not have a middle name at all which would be fine but if we can think of one that sounds great then I'd like her to have one.

We have ruled out the common combinations such as Grace, Rose and May but would like something fairly simple and classic. Surname starts D so would like to avoid her initials being LAD or LID Grin

There are lots of Lily- Mae /Mays near us currently. I love Lily but not with a tagged on middle name.

I think a longer name works slightly better but lots of the shorter suggestions are lovely too

Wow, thanks for all the suggestions!

Still half considering Lily Jean- is that ridiculous though?

Lily can be short for Elizabeth so am going to stay away from Emma or Beth.

Quite like Lily Kate or Lily Katherine

I like Lily Sophia but LSD isn't great!

We've got Lily middle name Ellen. At school and with friends she's just Lily but she is affectionately called LilyEllen by most of the family.

I like

Lilly May.
Lilly Beth.

Did like Lilly Ann but thst breaks the rule for initials lol.

user1459464195 · 19/01/2018 12:52

OK, I personally think a classic three syllable name is what's needed to pair with Lily.

Lily Nerissa
Lily Madeleine
Lily Rebecca
Lily Sophronia
Lily Jessamine
Lily Natalia
Lily Julianna
Lily Tabitha
Lily Cordelia
Lily Beatrix
Lily Cassandra
Lily Francesca
Lily Marina
Lily Sabrina

FWIW I really like Lily Natalia and Lily Madeleine.

Op-something we astoundingly failed to even consider with our own Lily Jean Grin. That said it's only ever been mentioned a handful of times and no one her age (she's now 12) has a clue re the song anyway Smile
Jean was a family name in my case but I do like it a lot anyway.
