Liliana - thoughts?

Trying to agree a name for DD3 - a real struggle as each used 6 names with other DDs. What do you think of Liliana? Harsh (or otherwise) you like!

I prefer Lily. I know a 7 year old Liliana, who's known as Lily (I think her friends in particular find 'Liliana' difficult to say!).

I prefer Lilia but you'll get some who say it reminds them of sanitary products Grin

Say the name out loud a few times - that's how my friend has discounted several names. She liked them in her head but when she said them daily for a week or so soon went off them Flowers

I prefer Liliana to Lily, which is lacking a degree of gravitas, for my taste. I know someone called Lilias, which I also like.

Lovely.

My niece is called this, gets shortened to Lili inevitably but very pretty name.

Lily is timeless, classic and beautiful.
Lilliana, in my opinion, without being unkind, is a bit much and too frilly.

Dance Moms

What sort of sibling names have you gone for? It is a lovely name you might like Lillia as well it's a Russian name.

I don't really like Liliana.

Other ideas I prefer:
Lilian
Lilith
Lilia

Salmonpinkcords · 17/09/2017 18:10

I don't watch Dance Moms...
One.but problem is that I don't actually like ,Lily but I can see its unavoidable that people will shortened to that.
Sibling Amelia and Arabella

I really like the name Lilliana. I have only met one Lilliana, she served me in a shop when I was pregnant with ds2 this year. At the time I didn't know if bump was a girl or boy and I had such an emotional response to her name that I started crying! Blush

Love the name xxx

daisypond · 17/09/2017 18:59

It has four syllables, so matches the names of your other DC. I probably do find it a bit frilly for my taste, but, as I said earlier, I prefer it to Lily. I like Lilian and Lilias more.

DramaAlpaca · 17/09/2017 19:01

I like it.

scrivette · 17/09/2017 19:04

I am not keen on Lily but I think Liliana is lovely.
