Hi all,

Considering these two names for a baby girl - curious to know which people prefer out of Flora and Lilia.

Thanks in advance :)

Flora

Flora is beautiful. Don't like Lilia quite as much. My Mum once told me she could never call her daughter Lilia cos apparently it was the name of a feminine hygiene product around when she was younger.

poppymango · 20/05/2026 18:01

Flora by a mile! Such a lovely name.

HappyHacienda · 19/05/2026 17:28

Flora!

fairmaidofutopia · 19/05/2026 17:00

Flora x 100. Fab name 😊

Flora makes me think of butter. Lilia is lovely.

CurlewKate · 19/05/2026 16:20

I’m afraid they both sound like brand names to me-sorry.

sunflowerdaisies · 19/05/2026 16:18

I much, much prefer Lilia - it is beautiful!

csg376 · 19/05/2026 16:12

Flora is lovely. Too many Lilys and Lily-adjacent names like Lila, Lola, Liliana, Layla around.

I like Flora

HappyHacienda · 13/05/2026 23:29

love both but slightly prefer Flora

Summer26 · 13/05/2026 22:22

Flora as it was my late MIL's name

17caterpillars1mouse · 13/05/2026 20:45

I much prefer Flora. I actually really like Lilia too if i could guarentee she'd be called her full name 90% of the time, but i think its inevitable that she'll become Lily which i find a bit meh

SleepingDogsLie · 13/05/2026 20:45

I love Flora! DH didn’t like it as he said it made him think of “flora and fauna,” otherwise maybe DD would have been a Flora ❤️
