I'm really struggling deciding on a name. Which one do you prefer? I've got a list of about 10 that I keep going between. Current top of the list are these two:

Lilly or Lottie?

What do you think?

Lottie. I don’t mind Lily (this spelling) or even Lillie, but not Lilly for some reason.

I like luisa but would pronounce it luisssa rather than louizzza which is how I pronounce Louisa.

Lily- in love Lilliana
Lottie - nice name, v popular. LOVE lieselotte

Eva - nice, could be short for Evangeline which I LOVE

Lily (with a single L in the middle to avoid misspellings). While it's very popular at the moment, it's also semi-classic imo. I think Lottie as a given name is more trendy and she might get annoyed saying "It's not Charlotte".

Of your other choices I like Eva - again another classic that just happens to be popular at the moment. Luisa and Sofia are nice too but will be misspelt a lot - Louisa and Sophia are better known/used in the UK .

Lottie Louisa or Lexi

Much prefer Eve to Eva and less used too I think.

Lily, but prefer Lillian.

Lottie sounds like just a toddler name to me.

How about Laurel

A lovely underused name

MadeOfStarStuff · 24/08/2021 08:04

Lottie

I prefer it short for Charlotte, but even on its own I prefer Lottie to Lilly (and I would spell it Lily)

Lindsay is due a return, Laura and Lucy are lovely.

Other 'L' names - Louella, Leonie, Lorna, Lavinia, Lindy, Lisa

Lily. I also like Lucy, Luna, and Leelah.

Lottie is cute for a little girl but I don’t think sounds great for an adult.
I love Lily.

As a teenager knew a Carlotta who was called Lottie. Perhaps that's an option if you don't like Charlotte
