Lily?

[Ellen35]

So I've posted quite a few names on here, but still no nearer
Me and DH both liked Elsie to begin with, but all the negative comments about it being twee etc have put me off slightly.
I liked Lucy but DH won't agree to that one as mil has a dog named Lucy and he doesn't like Lucinda as an alternative.
Considered Isabel but just not sure.
I like Rosie but one of my best friends is using that if she has a girl (although she's not ttc for a couple of years) still - she would disown me
So now I'm considering Lily which I think has a similar feel to Elsie, Rosie and Lucy. It's simple, pretty and I think it goes with brother William. What are your thoughts?

I love the name Lily and its nowhere near as popular as it was 10 years ago (memories of teaching classes packed with Lily/Lillie/Lily-Rose/Lily-Mae etc!)

Please make sure you spell it Lily though, not Lillie or Lilly (just, why?!)

I really like Lily bit it is massively popular especially when paired with the default middle names for every girl currently Rose/Grace/May.

Your DS may be a William now but he won’t be when he’s a teenager. He’ll be a Will.

Eleanor?
Violet?
Iris?
Juliet

Lily is an absolutely beautiful name. Timeless, like William.

I'd go for it.

The person who runs Royalty Soaps (In the US, a luxury soap company) has a Lily and a William, and I always think what lovely names.

I dont like William and Lily together think Elise is nicer (or Elisa) really like Ruby with William so team dh here

I love Lily but not with William

I think Lily is lovely but also share doubts about sibling match.

Alice? Clara? Cora? Helena? Nancy? Allegra (Allie) ? Flora? Pearl?

I think Elsie Victoria is nice.
Is it my favourite name ever? No
Is it a perfectly pleasant sounding name which she can take through all arenas of life? Yes

I also think Sadie is nice if you like the ie ending

Lily is much nicer than Elsie. I don't think Elsie is twee - just kind of ugly and old lady-ish. What about Elise?
