Lilian gets my vote, by quite some margin :)

Popeye44 · 15/06/2017 13:55

Thanks for your reply! I was thinking that myself, any other suggestions?

Liliana is lovely - as is Lilia, which you might also like. I also like Lilian. Less keen on Lily-Anna personally.

P1nkP0ppy · 15/06/2017 14:00

I like Liliana, also Luciana.

We were going to go for Lilliana if it was going to be a girl.

I know an absolutely lovely Lilia, my second choice would be Lilian.

Teddy6767 · 15/06/2017 14:28

Liliana

Sophronia · 15/06/2017 17:21

Lilian

pieceofpurplesky · 15/06/2017 17:32

As a pp said the name Lilia is beautiful

Curlyshabtree · 15/06/2017 17:34

Lillia is a gorgeous name and not many about

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 15/06/2017 17:57

Liliana

AngelicaSchuylerChurch · 15/06/2017 18:04

Liliana is usually pronounced lily-arna IME - very pretty but a slightly different sound to the others.

auntym · 15/06/2017 18:12

Lilian is by far the nicest of your options imho.

SoftBlocks · 15/06/2017 18:13

Liliana or Lilia but not Lily-Anna.

leghoul · 15/06/2017 18:14

Liliana
(I've only ever heard this pronounced Lily-Anna, as it should be)

MaroonPencil · 15/06/2017 18:15

I like Lilia best but out of your three, Lilian.
There is also the name Liana, there's a Liana on BBC Essex.

MaroonPencil · 15/06/2017 18:16

I would pronounce Liliana as Lili - arna (although not once I had been told it was wrong of course!).

RuthB4 · 15/06/2017 18:28

Definitely Lillian! By miles!

Other ideas. ...

I like Liliana.

Lillia/Lilja is a diminutive of Liliana in various European countries.

KayVerinder · 15/06/2017 18:33

Lilian for sure, I called my DD this (with 2 ls though) and have not met another one.

Under the age of about 65 anyway 😁

Not if your heritage is eastern European, which is the case for every Liliana I've known.

AngelicaSchuylerChurch · 15/06/2017 18:46

Lila is also pretty.

PanannyPanoo · 15/06/2017 18:56

Lilianna
Lilibet
Lilia
lillith

harderandharder2breathe · 15/06/2017 19:04

I've only ever heard Lilianna as Lily-arna

I like Lilian or Lilianna

SuperBeagle · 15/06/2017 19:54

Lilian

Though I prefer the spelling Lillian
