Not pregnant right now but do you think this works in the UK?

Means Princess in Amharic (I am an Ethiopian Christian).

Thanks

TAMPON.

Not good.

midnightexpress · 01/09/2011 10:25

Yes, sounds like a tampon to me too I'm afraid.

MrsOzz · 01/09/2011 10:41

Could try Lolita instead?

Although that also has some slightly unsavory connections...

midnightexpress · 01/09/2011 10:46

slightly unsavoury??? Grin.

Don't think it works well in English, sorry. Even aside from the tampon issue, it just looks odd somehow.

What about Leila?

HollyGoHeavily · 01/09/2011 10:55

Sorry, but it doesn't sound right to my British ears. It is too much like 'Lilet' which is one of the leading brand of tampons.

I wouldn't go for Lolita either as it will never shake off the highly dodgy and unpleasant novel.

If you like names beginning with 'L' how about Lilia, Lilian, Lorelei, Layla?

Tampon. Definitely tampon.

birdofthenorth · 01/09/2011 12:59

Tampon. First thought. Sorry.

Would be spelt wrong a lot in the UK too.

What about Lilith?

Saggyoldclothcatpuss · 02/09/2011 01:45

EEW! Do you know who Lilith was Fleur? Grin

How about just nice simple Lily?

MrsRhettButler · 02/09/2011 01:51

How is it pronounced? Ly - lit?

FleurTing · 02/09/2011 17:24

Youre right <strong>Saggy</strong>, Lilith doesnt have very good connotations for those who know (blush) but its a name Ive always liked ! I`ve come across it in novels a few times...

Papyrus · 03/09/2011 06:44

My first thought would be Violet with a speech impediment. My second would be tampons - sorry.

EricNorthmansMistressOfPotions · 03/09/2011 21:30

Why Eww for Lilith? I know two people who named their DDs Lilith after the pre-Eve or whoever she was. Why is that Eww?

MollieO · 03/09/2011 21:33

The only Lilith I've heard of was the mad ex-wife in Frasier/Cheers! Not a name I'd choose.

Lielit I'd assume was a misspelt tampon.

thisisyesterday · 03/09/2011 21:35

how is it pronounced?
lee-lit?
lye-lit?

i know a Lilith, that's a lovely name

FairyArmadillo · 03/09/2011 23:00

Unfortunately it does sound too much like Lilets- the tampons.
