How to make this name work with my surname?

[Pluto30]

I have always loved the name Lily and am set on using it. However, my surname is Lee and I just can't use Lily Lee, surely?

I don't like Lillian, and I don't think Lillian Lee sounds much better anyway...

How can I make Lily work with this last name?!

I'm not normally a fan of hyphenated names, especially the ones involving Lily (sorry), but I think there is actually a really cool, country and western sort of vibe about Lily-Grace Lee!

Alternatively, I like Lilith, Liliana or Delilah with the nn Lily. Delilah could be Lilah too which I also like. I also like Anna as an alternative shortening for Liliana.

I think Lily Lee is a great name! Alliterative names are always very memorable, IMHO

Great Garbo is a great alliterative name. Lily Lee though just sounds like Lilyly.

Greta Garbo even

Hi Pluto, I love LilyJo, and it doesn't spoil Lily, but goes with Lee, if that makes sense.

Lila Lee
Lilah Lee
Lyra Lee

Go for it if you like it. I think Liliana Lee sounds amazing (nn Lily). Lilibet Lee sounds a bit like Lily Betley.

If you like it I'd stick with Lily Lee.
Lee is such a common suffix it starts sounding strange with anything if you overanalyse it.
There is probably a Frank Lee out there :)

Lilith Lee?

I don't think Lily Lee is ok however much you love it - as said, it sounds like leeleelee.

Lily Lee is a bit mad (it's basically Lee Lee Lee!)

This.

Some alliterative names sound great, this one sounds silly.

It's like David Vid, Lucy Sea...

Thanks everyone.

Looks like we've got some thinking to do! Husband is quite taken with Lillian now, but I'm still not sure...

I think Lilian is a gorgeous name, and very underused!

Sorry but I don't like the sound of Lily Lee (lee-lee-lee).

What about Eliana?

Liliana is gorgeous, with lily for short

Usse another surname.

Change the surname or change the first name. You really cannot call a child Lily Lee. Or even Lilian Lee if you're planning on calling her Lily Lee day to day. It sounds so ridiculous.

I know an Olivia nicknamed Lily

OP, just wanted to say that Lilian Lee, is lovely 😄

It seems to be a real divide between people who think it's fine, or Lillian is nice, and people who think it's awful.

I really love Lily Mae Lee and Lilian Lee sounds really classic. I agree though Lily Lee does not work it is much too samey. What was you maiden name. Could you double barrell.

Where I'm from, Lillianne is a popular name. Maybe an option? Lily Grace sounds lovely too though :)

Lilian Lee is good. Lily for day to day.

Or Lilianne is nice?

I've met about 3 Charles Lees which were known as Charlie. So therefore Charlie Lee sounding Char-lee-lee so... I do not think you have too much of an issue.

Elizabeth Lee nn Lily sounds amazing.
