I don’t like that spelling of Lily at all. I think Lily Grace is the nicest! Elsie is very grannyish to me. Eve isn’t pretty to my ear. Lily and Grace are both lovely though!

Tbh I don't mind any of the spellings, Lillie/Lily/Lilly all equally nice to meGrinnot sure which we'd go for if we did choose this name. I don't know why I don't like Lily with Grace Confused

I think when Eve is a middle name it sounds a bit like a celebration, like "oh we had a barbeque for Lily Eve" or "I was so drunk on Lily Eve I had to close one eye to type a text message".

I don't really like Elsie but I guess Elsie Grace (if Lily Grace is a no go).

If Lily Grace was an option though, I'd go for that.

I prefer Lily Grace to Lily Eve, and I don't like Elsie at all.

Elsie Grace, not old lady to me at all

AverageMummy · 28/06/2019 19:24

Lillie looks peculiar to me so Elsie

Lily Eve has two ee sounds together which doesn't sound great to me.

Elsie Grace is lovely.

I don't think any of them flow to be honest. Elsie Grace is too S heavy and Lillie Eve is too E heavy. However forced to make a choice I'd say Elsie Grace.

Lily Grace

This. You need a harder sound, like the G, in there to stop it all mushing together.

Elsie grace flows better.
I love the name Lilly but it doesn't go well with Eve. Eve Lilly would flow better or Elsie Lily

Prefer Elsie but I think Grace is a cop out middle name. It’s the generic middle name everyone uses when they can’t think of anything else like May.
