Lily - alternative longer versions

DH and I both like the name Lily for a DD but as we have a one syllable surname feel we ought to go for the longer version. DH likes Lilian, I don't. Does anyone know any other names that Lily could be short for?

Lillet

oh shit no, that tampons and i was so pleased with myself for thinking of that one

Lily is lovely as it is though

We have a one-syllable surname and all our top picks for DD (including the one we actually used) were simple two-syllable names (Helen, Rachel, Zoe, Emma etc) - I don't think it needs to be lengthened if you prefer Lily.

You could probably shorten Elizabeth to Lily
