Lilibet

[BlueMoonxxx]

I have always liked the name Lilibet (which is by the way a name quite popular in Central and South America) and we have been thinking to name our daughter Lilibet for quite a while. We were thrilled for this name to be chosen for the new Royal baby and I am sure it will become quite popular in the next few years. It is such a sweet name that combines vintage and witty in my view. Absolutely adorable.
What do you think? :-)

Oh FFS no.

I had it's quite popular in the Caribbean and also Ethiopia. Very interesting how it never was never big in the UK.

I think it's horrible, but that's just my opinion.

Lovely

Nope nope and nope

I think it's too twee

@debbrianna Absolutely, I was very surprised too! I didn't know about Ethiopia, but I know being popular in South Africa and also Uganda :-) :-)

I like it

I like it but there will be thousands of them now.

I think it’s an adorable nickname for someone who couldn’t say Elizabeth, but not a fan of it as a name in its own right.

I really love it!

ITA.

Too harsh sounding to me.

Or a tampon crossed with a bookies.

I think it's a lovely name.
I think everyone will think you've named her after their baby though.

It’s awful. I can see why they chose it as it’s got such meaning for them and Lily is a lovely shortening BUT it wouldn’t work on anyone else. Just call her Lily!

I am surprised you are thrilled ,usually people are upset if the name they love suddenly becomes popular or overused which might happen now with this one.

Lovely name. Go for it!

I like the name.
It's cute, but will definitely become a lot more common now. So if you dont mind that, then carry on.

Not as pretty as "Her Majesty The Queen".

It's cute and no more twee than the armies of Lily, Lily Grace, Lily Mae, Daisy, Rosie, Evie, Ellie, Millie, Molly Flopsy, Mopsy and Cottontail out there

Eeeek
No.
Lily Beth I like but Lilibet sounds wrong

“ Or a tampon crossed with a bookies.”

😂😂😂 Brilliant.

I’m not a fan at all, it just sounds so twee and completely made up. I had no idea it was a name in its own right, but unfortunately now most people will assume you’ve just copied the Sussexes. If you love it though, go for it.

It’s lovely as a nickname for the Queen as a child because she couldn’t pronounce her own name.

Other than that - it’s contrived and random.

You were ‘thrilled’ when H&M chose it?

Now you’re just going to look as if you have zero imagination of your own, and are just copying a pair of rather tedious celebrities.

Why would you want to do that?

One of my friends said it sounds like a “rapper” name. Li’l Bit.

On a par with Princess and Baron.
