Lily and May?

[ExpectingLady93]

What do people think of these names for a girl? Thank you

There both lovely names, but I know of 4 baby girls called lily-may born in the last year, it's very popular, probably the only reason I wouldn't have the names. But both are very nice x

As one name (first and middle) or for 2 girls?

Love it as I have a Lily May (May is her middle name, not hyphenated, and has a special significance to me/my family) but people on here seem to think it's too common or unoriginal. However I don't care as I am the one who has to say it millions of time each day!

Plus for what it's worth, even though it's a top 10 name we have only come across 1 other similar aged Lily so far and we made it til 3 1/2. The other one isn't a May!

Together or separate names that you like? Lilly with May as a middle name or hyphenated is hugely overused. May is just a filler middle name and will date like Louise and Jane. I work with kids and have met loads of Lily Mays.

Yeah Lily-May was one choice for us actually! I preferred them both separate definitely

@silverpinecones either Lily or May for a first name. The middle name would be Hazel. Xx

They’re fine. A dime a dozen. But if popularity didn’t bother you, go for it.

There are so many lovely girls’ names out there.

Thank you @RussiasGreatestLoveMachine popularity does bother me a bit hence why I am leaning more towards May. I can't say I've heard of a May before x

Lily is so popular and has been for such a long time it's totally oversaturated and bland. I see Lily-May as a bit ten years ago, along with the hyphenated name trend. May is refreshing as a first name.

Thanks @toastofthetown leaning towards May more

Much prefer May, Lily Is a bit wet.

May Lillian?

@Luredbyapomegranate I know what you mean!

Both short, simple, pretty names. I like them. Also love Hazel. I think Lily Hazel flows better than May Hazel. I don't think Lily is wet at all!

I'd swap it to Hazel Lily or Hazel May as it's less popular. There are over 10 girls in my dd's various friendship circles who are either Lily or May.

I love Hazel May.

Alternatives to Lily are Lillian or Lilliana.

Thanks all, Hazel is my sister's name hence the middle name choice! I do love the name Hazel also.

Lily and May are lovely classic floral names. Would be nice for sisters but perhaps a bit much as a first/middle pairing. Of the two, I prefer May - it's very underused as a first name and has a subtle elegance imo.

Yes I thought so too thank you

I like them both separately. Lily-May is incredibly overdone in my opinion. I once taught a class with 4 of them! I prefer May but I think Lily goes better with Hazel. Love Hazel btw.

Both lovely

Lily very popular- May I don't hear as a first name but seems to be every other girls middle name! Love Hazel but can see why you don't want it as a first name if it is your sisters name.

Lily is over done for me.
I love May, I know a newborn called this spelt Mae
