Ivy or Lillian?

Slowly narrowing down our girls list (I will stop posting I swear! It just took such a long time to agree on DD1)

Lillian would be nicknamed Lil/Lily

Ivy I just really like at the moment.

I really like Lilian. Not keen on Ivy at all - poisonous or a weed. I also like Lily. But one of ones I know - now in her 20s- thinks Lily is too twee and now uses Lilian instead.

My mum uses a middle name. But I prefer Lillian to Ivy.

Love the name Ivy! X

I like Ivy and Lily, not keen on Lillian at all

I like Lilian (spelled that way for preference). Not very keen on Ivy - I much prefer Iris.

Both are lovely.

I love Lillian, it's my dds middle name. I used it in the middle as I'm not a huge fan of Lily though. I do like Lil

Ivy is lovely but becoming very popular around here

Lillian - I really don't like Ivy personally

@17caterpillars1mouse do you mind me asking what your daughters name is?

Ivy is lovely, I prefer it to Lillian.

I prefer Ivy to Lillian, which sounds a little stuffy to me. I like Lily and Lilia though.

MrsPelligrinoPetrichor · 03/01/2020 20:56

Lillian

Matilda, tilly or tilda for short.😊

I love ivy - but then I also have one. It fitted for us as it's not too girly and I liked that it couldn't be shortened.

I love Ivy.

Prefer Lily to Lillian and as you'd call her Lily anyway I'd go with that.

Another one I like recently is Ada.
