Lily or Lilly?

[BabyHaribo]

I think Lilly is prettier but Lily is the more widely used spelling and don't want dd to constantly have to correct people.

What do you think?

Lily is so much prettier and tbh I'm really not keen on Lilly by itself and not as a shortened version of Lillian. A lily is an actual thing, why add an extra l?

Prefer lily

Definitely Lily.

If you want to name her after the flower, then it's Lily.

Lilly isn't a word (and isn't a name as far as I know)

Lily. I think that looks prettier.

Lilly would be appropriate for a shortening of Lillian, imo

I know lots of Lilys as well as a Lilly, Lili, and a Lillie.

I'd just go for Lily though.

I had bever seen the spelling 'Lilly' until recently, and I don't like it. I like Lily (and quite like 'Lillie', which was popular in the 19th century, probably after actress Lillie Langtry).

Lily much nicer

Another vote for Lily with one L.

I've always thought Lilly should have 2 Ls, and genuinely thought the other spelling was wrong... Clearly not!!

Def Lily

why would you name a child after a pharmaceutical company? That was my first thought tbh. www.lilly.co.uk/en/about/index.aspx

Lily of course

Mn has spoken!

Lily it is - it was really DH that wanted Lilly anyway

Lillie is my favourite, but between Lily and Lilly I prefer Lily.

Lily.

Glad you're going with that selling OP. lovely name.

Are you really set on this one? It's sooooo common, at least 2 in both my dds classes. It's this generations sarah.

Lily as in flower

Lilly nickname for Lillian

That's how I see the names.

I would spell it Lily.

The ones I know of spell their name that way.

KERALA1 popular not common and the op asked opinions on spelling not whether you like it or not.

I think Kerala meant common as in common place.

Which is true.

Common as in popular! I helped out on a school trip on Friday for a reception class - 4 of the girls were called lily. It was on our list as was my grandmothers name but popularity bothers me as I have a common name myself. If you don't mind that it's not a problem but be aware...
