Lily?

So I know it's really popular and I'm ok with that.

What do you think of the name Lily? What sort of person do you think of when you hear it? Just a bit of fun as I daydream as to what my little one will be like Smile

A gentle pretty character

I know so many different Lilys that imo she can be anything really.

I love the name Lily even though I’m not keen on a lot of popular names! It’s one of those names to me that hasn’t had its sparkle dulled just because there are so many Lilys.
Makes me think of a girl who has long golden hair and who is sweet and kind! And she wears yellow sundresses in the summer and straw hats

Lovely Lily

It’s ok, but to me it’s like Ava, Isla, Amelia and Evie, overdone.

I keep being told how popular it is I have a primary aged lily I only know 3 others 2 in older years and one younger all spelt differently as well, must not be as popular in my area

Lily is a nice name, I prefer Lilia as I find it a bit more unusual. Lily is a happy name to me.

SallyWD · 25/03/2019 15:07

Lily is a lovely name. Feminineand happy

barryfromclareisfit · 25/03/2019 16:02

Love it.

barryfromclareisfit · 25/03/2019 16:02

Lilia sounds like sanitary protection.

sunflower332 · 25/03/2019 18:14

I too prefer Lilia!

MikeUniformMike · 25/03/2019 19:13

It's nice. I'd expect a Lily to be pretty.
I don't like Lilia.

flameycakes · 25/03/2019 19:21

My youngest son would have been Lily if he was a girl, my nanas name, I love it x

WhiteWine4TheLady · 25/03/2019 19:24

I don’t think it’s as popular currently. It was everywhere when I had my first child 15 years ago.

It’s a lovely name, regardless. Timeless, classic etc.

Phantastic · 25/03/2019 19:26

Lily is lovely and popular because it is lovely, Lilia is grim!

BillywigSting · 25/03/2019 19:52

I know a liliana (nn lily) who is the single most lovely child (apart from my own ds) I have ever had the privilege of knowing, so I love the name by association.

She is very beautiful, independent, kind, sweet, intelligent, thoughtful etc etc.

One of my nieces is Lily and she's certainly a one off! She's hilarious, cheeky and bossy. She's absolutely fab.
