Lila and Lily?!

Expecting our 3rd girl, and our oldest girl who is 3 is absolutely adamant we need to call this baby Lily. The problem is, she is called Lila...we can't have a Lila and a Lily can we?! (Middle daughter has an unrelated name starting with a different letter)

I wouldn't as they are far too similar but I would use Lily as a middle name. We chose 3 or 4 names we liked then let DD1 choose DD2's name from those as we were happy with any of them.

No you can't. Use Lily as a middle name.

Way too similar. I wouldn't be letting my 3 year decide either. She will have forgotten next week. Congrats to you :)
