We can’t have Lily or Olivia so thought this could be a nice alternative. Thoughts please

I don't know about Lilia as a brand of sanitary towel and I was born in 1960, but my first thought was on Lillets.

Definitely a brand of sanitary towels. It’s ok. Very similar to Lily which is over used and boring sorry.

It was a brand of sanitary towels.

That's what it immediately brings to mind for me but I don't think they were around after the 1970s so nobody young will remember them.

I’ve always liked it.

My first thought too, but I'm old. Young people won't remember that.

Lovely. Way nicer than Lily or Olivia, maybe just for originality.

I think it’s lovely

I don't know if it an accent thing, but I know a Lilia and I don't like it. Lilya is how it sounds and it sounds quite harsh for a name full of vowels.

Really pretty

catnamechange · 25/04/2025 21:31

I think it’s beautiful and actually much nicer than Lily and Olivia.

I love it personally! Did meet a wee 3 year old Lilia in park recently.
am sure some would think it’s old fashioned but it’s what you think or rather feel - that’s most NB
As a dyslexic I struggle to spell it - but it’s actually simple enough to learn.

Yes, I like it - I know a lovely teen called Lilia and think it suits her a lot.
