Lily is beautiful and classic. I just wonder whether Skyla might be one of those names in the future which sound a bit 'faddy'.

Lily is also lovely paired with a wider variety of middle names - someone I used to work with has called their daughter Lily-Beatrice (shortened to Lily-Bea) which works nicely when they are younger and gives the name more of a uniqueness.

i like Skylar with an R on the end

a pal of mine has a girl called skyla

MelinaM · 22/04/2011 22:56

Much prefer Lily to SkylaSmile

Emelene · 22/04/2011 23:06

I prefer Lily for sure. It's a really pretty name.
I personally don't like Skyla, and I think the spelling would be tricky because most people would spell it Skylar.

ColonelBrandonsBiggestGroupie · 22/04/2011 23:09

Really dislike Skyla. Lily is much nicer.

Skyla is really not nice, Lily is beautiful.

Apparently its popular but I don't know many.

JiltedJohnsJulie · 24/04/2011 14:44

So many Lilys around here that it would put me off completely but I do prefer it so Skyla.

evamummy · 24/04/2011 15:04

Lily is so overused imo that it has become a little 'dull' imo - there are just so many of them around. I'm not a fan of Skyla but how about Skye?

Lily

Lily is nicer than Skylar, but there are a lot of lilys about. Skye is lovely.

Nightstar · 24/04/2011 18:42

I agree with most of the others, Skyla is awful!

Lily is lovely but quite over used at present

BibiBelle · 24/04/2011 18:51

oh dear god which ever you choose please don't double barrell.

keep them both in mind and see which suits her when she gets here

A1980 · 25/04/2011 22:48

Lily is a beautiful name.

Skyla is horrible.

Go with Lily.

MayBankHoliday · 27/04/2011 00:27

Another vote for Lily.

Lily - love it!
