Middle name for Lillian

[peaches1991]

DH and I are settled on Lillian but I'm having doubts about the middle name. We both want to use Elizabeth as we like it and both have family members with the name, but I'm worried there's too many 'L' sounds in 'Lillian Elizabeth'. Am I being silly? It's so difficult to tell with 36 week baby brain!

I think it's fine. Lillian is a great name very classy

Lillian Elizabeth is beautiful. Congratulations x

My DGM’s name is Lillian Maria. Lillian is a beautiful name!

They are both lovely names. I think they go well together.

I think they go well

I think they go well together. Lillian is a beautiful name.

My first thought when I read your thread title was Elspeth, so perhaps there's something about Lillian that makes it fit really well with an 'El' name.

Both very nice names. Congratulations.

Probably you know the following, but just in case not: opinions vary, but some people say that 'Lillian' is a short form of Elizabeth. Others say that it comes from the Latin for the lily flower. But even if that's true, 'Lili' is definitely a diminutive of Elizabeth in several languages:

I you think its too Mich what about a shortenezed version of Elizabeth?
Beth, Liz, Lizzie, Libby, Eliza, Bette, Betty, Lila, lily.
Or have two middle names!
Lillian Tiffany Elizabeth
Lillian Connie Elizabeth
Lillian Theresa Elizabeth
Lillian Michaela elizabeth

Thanks all! That's really put my mind at rest  @Whyislarryhappy I did think about that but we have a double barrelled last name so I think it would be way too much

I know its Lillian and not Lily but Lily is actual one of tgd many shortenings for Elizabeth, believe it or not.
So it'd be like having a Daisy Margaret in effect.
Lillian Rebecca
Lillian Abigail
Lillian Cecelia
Lillian Victoria
Lillian Florence
Lillian Frances
Lillian Jessica
Lillian Juliet
Lillian Aurora
Lillian Martha
Lillian Adelaide
Lillian Margaret
Lillian Ivy
Lillian Evangeline
All similar vein to Elizabeth.

Go with Lillian Elizabeth it is rather elegant.

Lillian Grace Elizabeth

I think it sounds fine, and in all honesty, middle names are not normally used alongside the first name on a day to day basis anyway. I only use my middle name when filling out forms.

I like Lillian Anna x

I think it sounds fine but what about something christmassy? even Beth for bethlehem?

Clementine
Gabrielle
Natasha
Stella

Gillian

I'm not sure that Lillian Elizabeth works. As others have said, Lily is a diminutive of Elizabeth. And there's a lot of syllables going on there.

I'd go for a simple one syllable middle name, such as Kate or Jane.

Lillian Margaret
Lillian Virginia
Lillian Mary
