BetterWithCranberryWensleydale · 18/12/2013 19:31

I love it but would pronounce as Jane suggests

Witchesbrewandbiscuits · 18/12/2013 19:31

yeah I thought that.

you can spell it lillianna which I guess would be the lily anna pronunciation but I think thats a bit long winded.

Regardless of pronunciation, I think it's bloody awful.

Sounds like a hula dancer.

RibenaFiend · 18/12/2013 19:35

I find it a bit too frilly. I love Lilias, the Scottish version of Lilian though.

Leeds2 · 18/12/2013 21:40

I wouldn't choose it!

soontobeslendergirl · 18/12/2013 22:58

I know a lovely Liliana - she's Romanian, think it is more popular in eastern Europe.

FrumiousBandersnatch · 19/12/2013 00:09

I also know a Liliana and it's definitely pronounced 'Lilly-arna'. You'd have to change the spelling if you were set on your chosen pronunciation, OP.

CarryOnDancing · 19/12/2013 09:18

I like it but agree with the pronunciation everyone else has said. You would need to change the spelling for the pronunciation...but then I'm not sure it works?

DingDongUriGelleryOnHigh · 19/12/2013 09:33

Yes, too frilly.

Lily is still a gorgeous name, a bit overused a few years ago but I think its a classic.. Liliana is definitely and literally gilding the lily.

soontobeslendergirl · 19/12/2013 09:59

Depends where you live re the pronunciation, I would pronounce the spelling given as lily anna. However we are in Scotland and we dont add in an extra "r" where none exists. I am sure we have our other faults though Xmas Grin

Witchesbrewandbiscuits · 19/12/2013 11:16

yes I too much prefer the classic lily but with a colour surname it wouldnt work Sad

good job its just for fun or I would never settle on a name hee hee.
