Do you know any girls with this name?

I like the name Lilian and was wondering if anyone knows any little Lilians? Are they usually called Lilian or is it always shortened to Lily? I'm keen to find a classic, timeless name for DD and Lilian seems to fit the bill. It doesn't seem too popular either.

Any thoughts on Lilian would be much appreciated.

No Lilians at my school, not known any in the 9 years I've been teaching, nor actually any in my life.

The only Lilian I know is my great aunt Lil. A lovely lady who does exquisite embroidery.

Don't know any Lilians. My colleague is called Liliana, it's a lovely name.

Only in the Archers my completely not helpful contribution of the day

But I think it's a lovely name!

i have an aunt lillian so it makes me think of middle aged women.

I don't agree that the name will inevitably be shortened by others. My daughter has a name that is commonly shortened but she hates the shortened version of it and will not answer to it, her friends don't use it and she has never had a problem when she has told people that she prefers her full name.

I like Lillian it's classic,anyone calls her liliy correct to lilian

Just don't shorten it to Liw.

I've taught one Lillian. She is now 6 and always known as Lilian.

Lilian from the Rugrats!
