Hi, as the title says, which spelling please. I think Lilly but thought I'd check I'm in the majority. The last one I'd never thought of till I saw it on a names list.

Thanks.

It's Lily for me. Can't stand the other ones tbh. I don't get why people change it, it's beautiful.

Ah thanks Unusual, I hadn't thought of Lillian, will be more forgiving. Maybe.

There are loads of Lillys in my family - nearly all Lillians though. So I'd say it depends on if you are naming DD for a flower or not.

Lily. Definitely .

I am usually a complete purist about name spellings BUT I do prefer Lilly.

If you have no reason to use another spelling then it would be Lily like the flower. One of my middle names is Lillie and if I had a daughter I would have considered using it as a first name with this spelling, however it is a family name. I am named after this guy which I think is kind of cool as I am a scientist too.
