How about Lilou?

[Eleonorex]

Do you like the French name Lilou?

I’m sorry, but it reminds me of Lilo Lil

Yes, I like it, and I think more current than most of the names that would be mentioned here if asked for a french name.

I’ve never heard of it, sorry but in English I read it like Lilo I don’t think it translates well

Like it.

Reminds me of The Fifth Element though, if it matters.

Awful. Like Lilo

No, it is pronounced Lilú

God no. She'd get called Lilo. Would be awful for her growing up

Lilo Lil

Sorry

Unless you actually live in France?

I know someone with a child named lilu.

Named after the 5th element.

She's about 10.

If the family is French, I would just assume it was something to get used to, like all the names from all the different countries that families are from.

If the family were English (and you are in England - I totally realise there are people on here the World over, even though it is a majority UK site) then I don't really like it.

Not sure how to pronounce it. It’s a bit twee for me too. Reminds me of Lilo and Stitch.

I’m not keen on names that sound like they should be nicknames or pet names - ie Lulu, Fifi, Gigi. I always think it will be difficult for that child to be taken seriously as an adult.

Would also think of the 5th element. I don't feel it's a very current reference though.

My first thought was Lilo Lil, sorry.

Thank you @Pumpkinstace I was desperately searching my brain for the name of the film, I could see it and hear the character saying lilu but couldn't remember what the film was called.

Yeah OP it reminds me of The 5th Element

Do you live in a French speaking country (or have a French Surname)? I think otherwise it could be quite unusual and even a bit cute sounding. But Lilou is pretty and would make an adorable nn for a girl with the first name Lily/Lilia/Lilian and the middle name Louise/Louisa/Lucy/Lucia.

If you were naming a small dog or a feminine hygiene product then yes. A person - no.

Sorry to be so blunt OP but that is a shocker. Use it as a nn if you insist but foe heavens sake call her something that is a proper name or at least sounds like one.

Cute as a nickname but I also immediately thought of the Fifth Element.

Also The 5th Element, and can’t help but say it exactly as Mila does for the film.

It's a traditional French diminutive for Marie-Louise I think. It's not a given name in itself. Unless you're naming a little terrier or something. Then it's cute.

It’s a super trendy hipster baby name in France right now.

I like it.

Pretty (if insubstantial) in French but awful in English. I knew a family with a little Lilou, I think one parent was French-speaking, but the other parent had a broad Yorkshire accent and it just sounded silly.

Also it will be confused with Lila, Lola, Lulu etc.

Are you French?

Would not be able to stop thinking MULTIPASS
