Help! Regret!?
Hi.
My oldest dd is Sofia. I never had an issue picking her name. I like that it’s well known world wide, never mispronounced. Its popularity doesn’t bother me. I like that it’s a timeless classic even though it’s quite “in”
Now. I would still consider it a classic, and used royally.

Now for dd2 I’m having such an issue. I feel like I hate every name. My dh and I have finally settled on the name Lilia. My reasons is that I like names that are feminine and end in “A”, it sounds quite melodic and elegant? But the things that put me off is that, I feel like it’s not well known...perhaps a bit too continental and not English. Potential to be mispronounced and not a timeless classic like sofia? I’m worried Lilia is too weird, and Im setting up my dd2 with a weird name. My dh has refused Lillian saying it’s a bit too old lady, and Liliana is too long and frilly. Lilia can always be shorted to lily, but I feel like lily is too common.

My naming style is that I like names like Amelia, Cecelia, Olivia etc. But I do not want to use these names.

Is Lilia a weird name??

Should I try and find another “sofia” name, or is Lilia like “sofia” and am I overly worrying?

Delia is lovely. No silly rhymes that I can think of, and personally I think Delia Smith is very likeable.
Perfect with Sofia.
