Lily-April but I don't like hyphenated either. Nine out of ten that I know drop the second bit anyway by school age.

Lilly (2 'L's) is lovely, bit overused ATM but that doesn't matter I guess.

Tilly is a nickname, do her a favour & at least give her the option of a real name.

April, well IMHO it's a month, not a name, but can see how others might think it's pretty & original. Just hope she is born in April eh? :)

Hyphenated, just no.

How about Avril?

April is a lovely first name. Not keen on double barrelling. Leave Lily as a middle name.

Thanks for the opinions! It is my last day to amend the name today and I still am unsure!!!! I think I will have to see what she grows into and then change via deed poll.

Or you could just pick a name, use it and then forget about it. Really, deed-poll, what she'll be called at school? That's seriously overthinking it.

FWIW April is a lovely name but sounds daft with Lily.

Fatimalovesbread · 10/05/2011 13:30

So what is she called at the moment if this thread is about changing it?

MelinaM · 10/05/2011 15:38

Agree no hyphen, use either one on it;s won or choose something else entirelySmile

How about Lilia or Lila?

MelinaM · 10/05/2011 15:38

...it's own!!!

Are you serious? You plan to change her name by deed poll??? What did you decide on in the end?
