Thank you @RussiasGreatestLoveMachine popularity does bother me a bit hence why I am leaning more towards May. I can't say I've heard of a May before x

They’re fine. A dime a dozen. But if popularity didn’t bother you, go for it.

There are so many lovely girls’ names out there.

@silverpinecones either Lily or May for a first name. The middle name would be Hazel. Xx

Yeah Lily-May was one choice for us actually! I preferred them both separate definitely

Together or separate names that you like? Lilly with May as a middle name or hyphenated is hugely overused. May is just a filler middle name and will date like Louise and Jane. I work with kids and have met loads of Lily Mays.

Plus for what it's worth, even though it's a top 10 name we have only come across 1 other similar aged Lily so far and we made it til 3 1/2. The other one isn't a May!

As one name (first and middle) or for 2 girls?

Love it as I have a Lily May (May is her middle name, not hyphenated, and has a special significance to me/my family) but people on here seem to think it's too common or unoriginal. However I don't care as I am the one who has to say it millions of time each day!

There both lovely names, but I know of 4 baby girls called lily-may born in the last year, it's very popular, probably the only reason I wouldn't have the names. But both are very nice x
