Lilia /lily / lilets... all the same thing to me - sanitary products is all I think of when I hear these names as pps said!

boodleboot · 30/07/2009 08:08

i know a beautiful little Lillia....but i must say it is not for me....Lilyia and lily derivitaives are really common in my area, there seem to be loads of them.....

SarfEasticated · 30/07/2009 01:03

yes artichokes 'Lillia forever' one of the most heartbreaking and harrowing films I have ever watched, bawled my eyes, terrible.

witcheseve · 19/10/2008 19:12

Prefer Lila.

ScottishMummy · 19/10/2008 19:05

another reason to avoid then.that horsey hoorah annoys me

Liffey · 19/10/2008 19:02

And Trinny the saddo copied her almost exactly with Lyla Grace!

ScottishMummy · 19/10/2008 18:40

kate moss has lila grace,so for that reason alone no.reminds me of the chain smokin junkie lovin moll

Liffey · 19/10/2008 18:26

oooh sorry, I thought my first post hadn't worked. So I amended it slightly. sorry!

Blandmum · 19/10/2008 18:26

tampons

Liffey · 19/10/2008 18:25

I do like Leila, this spelling, but it's a bit too soft imo. I like a name to have a bit more strength. Pretty but strong. Lydia with Lila as a nn would be better imo.

Lyla, Layla etc very 'of the moment' mix them in with Lily and Ella and Ellie and that's a lot of Ls.

Its very popular in Eastern Europe, therefore in my part of London, where there is a large Polish population, it is increasingly popular.

It reminds me of one of the most heart wrenching films I have ever watched: Lilia Forever (its about the sex trade and Lilia did not have a happy life).

nickeldime · 19/10/2008 16:32

It's a form of Liliana, but Liliana is in my opinion too common - Lilia would be a good choice:

baby name Lilia

fizzpops · 17/10/2008 08:22

Lilja is the Icelandic form of Lily which I loved for a while but now think it would take a bit of explaining. The only person I mentioned it to said the thing about Strictly Come Dancing when that was NOT the inspiration at all and I would be if people thought that was how I chose it.

franch · 14/10/2008 21:21

Yep, I thought of sanitary products too I'm afraid - glad I'm not the only one

Flum · 14/10/2008 21:19

Mmmm Liliana is nice

LynetteScavo · 14/10/2008 21:15

I'm not sure....I do love Liliana though....

solidgoldskullonastick · 14/10/2008 21:13

There was a sanitary towel called Lilia. It's nearly as inadvisable as calling your DD Candida.

Flum · 14/10/2008 21:12

Probably because I have a baby due - but it reminds me of Labia!

Flibbertyjibbet · 14/10/2008 21:10

I am becoming more and more convinced that there was some sanitary towell product called Lilia in the 70's when I started my periods.

So I just googled and I was right. Lilia was a sanitary towell made my Smith and Nephew.

Don't call your baby that. Any woman over 40 will think 'sanitary towell'.

Sorry again.
