Names shortlisted are:
Lily Belle
Or
Meadow Elizabeth

Elizabeth is my mums middle name. I love both of these names but struggling to choose.
Perhaps an opinion poll would help? ?

Meadow Elizabeth is just gorgeous. In fact, I'm going to steal it for fictional never-going-to-happen dc3

Lily is v pretty but v popular. Same for Bella variations.

Meadow is the name if the daughter in the Sopranos. Haven't heard it otherwise. Sounds OK, I'd say in ghd Williw/Rowan/Blackberry/Nature names category.

Meadow is, er... brave.
Neah, honestly, I kind of like it. But folk will assume you're a raving lentil-weaving dope-smoking hippy before they even set eyes on you.

Lily Belle I really don't like, sorry. Sounds like a cow. Lily is fine.

Haha cheers guys.loving the hippee comment!

Sorry, but Meadow somehow makes me think of a euphemism for female pubic hair .

Quite like Lily, but it's pretty heavily used at the moment. Not keen on Belle.

Lily is very, very popular and will date.

Meadow is, um, not to my taste.

I am not much help, am I?!

Love Lily but it's become trendy. Meadow? Er no, same for belle.

Lily is really very widely used already. Meadow is actually very nice and I don't know any little girls called this.

Meadow

Thank you all! your opinions are all helping me to decide

Lily is OK. Not sure about Meadow. Have you any other names in mind.

Lily Belle is the more popular choice and the combo is a bit "cheesy".
Meadow Elizabeth seems more elegant.

I like Meadow but then I like Lily as well.
Really don't like Belle though so it would be Meadow Elizabeth for me

Meadow Elizabeth is lovely. Really like it

Lily - overused and twee.
Meadow - along the lines of Dawn in that it sounds tripe, plus because it's unusual reminds me of deers and gazelles prancing around a field. Which are cool and all, but. Plus I can't think how it could sound good with a surname, unless you plonk the middle name artificially in there when you recite it. Meadow Jones? Meadow Smith? No.

Go Lily Elizabeth if you must.

Do you like other nature names? Daisy, Poppy, Ashley, Hayley, Rowan, May, Willow, Holly, Violet, Laurel, Briony, Summer, Amber, Iris, Clover, Skye?

What a pretty name meadow is, very evocative, do have meadow elizabeth, your dd can only be a happy and beautiful baby with such a gorgeous name!

I've never heard of Meadow as a name but I can't see why it wouldn't suit a little girl as well as a grown woman. She will probably not have to 'share' her name with lots of others in her class, which she will if you name her Lily.

My vote goes to Meadow!

I know a 1.5 year old Meadow :) she's very cute.

I like it

Lily Belle

What about Melody instead of Meadow?

You must have considered Lilibeth? It sounds quite similar to Lily Belle and is a blend of Lily and Elizabeth. Lilibeth Meadow?

Meadow is The Sopranos. I wouldnt use it although its my most favourite show in the world. What about Willow? I love Elizabeth. Betty, Bessie, Beth. You can do so much with it.
