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? :-)

@AdaColeman

Not as pretty as "Her Majesty The Queen".

My DD's name ;)

Witty, how?

It makes me think of elderly ladies who smell of lavender soap. But then I've got 3 DSs so what would I know.

@BarbaraPapa

Witty, how?

Right??

I’m cringing hard at the OP…

@FierceBarrie Well, I thought about this name before them! :-) ahaha! I am happy they chose it anyway because I know many people here in the UK only knows it as the nickname of the Queen but it is actually a real name in other countries and now that they have named their baby Lilibet, it will stick in people's minds that it is a name! I also like that it has been used as a royal name, I think our little girl will like that :-) And yes, of course, we love the Queen, so .... :-) :-)

Reminds me of gullivers travels , also why would you want a connection to this two loons!

Love it.

@CirqueDeMorgue ahah, isn't that too long maybe? ;-)

Not to my taste and imo better suited to a nickname. I think Lili is a lovely name and I would probably reverse the official name with the nickname. However not my choice.

I'd think it was a bit strange to meet a baby Lilibet now to be totally honest. It's lovely for H&M because it means something special to them.

It's a cute and infantile nickname for a child who can't pronounce Elizabeth.

I think it's a bit wet and also a nickname rather than one to put on the birth certificate. I prefer Elizabeth or Lilian.

@Hallyup6

Too harsh sounding to me.

Or a tampon crossed with a bookies.

Haha 🤣

No offence to HRH but it sounds like a brand of tampon
..

It’s a bit left field for my tastes especially I have no connection to those African and Caribbean roots apart from wonderful holiday memories is such places. Never met anyone with this name. However if it’s suits your personal circumstances and provides the right connections - then yes be different and go for it! You may need to choose a less unique name to go along with it and make it fit the full name to sound wonderfully together.

Well I mean it's Lilly and Bet.
It's ok I guess.
But I prefer Elizabeth.

It does sound like a brand of tampon.

Elizabeth or Lillian are much classier!

Regardless of it being a name elsewhere, it just sounds like you’re jumping on a trend and it will date.

The one person in the royal family who knows a thing or two about tampons other than the women is prince Charles. How fitting..

I wasn't keen the first couple of times I heard it. Have obviously heard the name a lot more lately and the more I hear it the more I dislike it. Sounds kind of ackward.

Lily is so much better. Simple and pretty.

Just call her Elizabeth or Lily. It's too cringeworthy now after yet another Harry and Meghan own goal.

Everyone will simply think you’ve copied H&M. None of this ‘sticking in people’s minds’, yada, yada, nonsense.

They’ll just think you’re jumping on the bandwagon, and are copying.

It's not even a name. It's a child's mispronunciation of Elizabeth.

My aunt used to call my mum Baggawet instead of Margaret, but I certainly won't be choosing Baggawet for a future daughter.

Idiotic!

Be a bit unique and call your DD Lililet

I think it's a pretty name.
If you like it, go for it.
