Lily May

Thoughts on Lily May?

As in first name-middle name. Just called Lily.

Absolutely love Lily. Very pretty.

I like May very much, but it’s a bit of a filler middle name, as Jane and Louise were when I was born in the 1970s.

Very nice. I like both names and glad you're not hyphenating them

Lily May feels nineties/early 2000s to me. May is a bit of a filler middle name, but I feel like (and there’s no good data on middle name popularity so this is purely anecdotal) like May is more dated than Rose or Grace and has fallen out of favour over the last few years. Lily is inoffensive but very popular.

I like Lily but not with May.

I think it's lovely

Well I've got a late teen Lily and a late teen Mae. I love them both and I like them together (though our Mae was born just slightly before May became the middle name for every second girl and ours was called that as she was due in May and we like the flower hence the spelling) People will say it's too common but who cares really?

Lily is great. Lily may is a bit dated

Love it! One of my two boys would’ve been a Lily.

Coincidentally both my grandma's were Lily (Lillian) May... lovely names...but my paternal GM was Lil..(actually Fag Ash Lil..but that's another story!)

It's nice but a bit blah. Lily is nice.

And May is especially a filler name now. Why bother with a middle name? They aren't compulsory.

Any 'xxx may' to me sounds very common.

Ella May
Lily May
Daisy May

Bleurgh. Just go with one name

I know so so so many girls called Lily May.

So blah. So many of them. It's just very.....insipid.

There's nothing wrong with it, but I would never give a child such a bland name.

I'll go with bland af too.

I don’t understand the obsession with calling all girls “something May”. There are so many tiger names out there.

I know 3 children with this name - it's ok

Done to death

Nice but done to death.
Anything ending in 'May' sounds dated to me.

I have a Lily, so I love it. But it's a very safe name. So I think you really need a more interesting middle name than May

Lily is ok but has been very popular for ages. There are lots of similar names popular now like Lila, Lyra, Layla, Lola, Lucy, and Luna.

May is a bit of a filler middle name, and there will be plenty of other Lily Mays.
I'd choose a different middle name. I'm not keen on it.

It may be OK now, but in my GD’s class ( she is 9) there are 3! So it was a very popular choice 10 years ago.

It’s nice enough. About 4-5 years ago every other child I worked with was named either Lily May or Lily Rose. Very very popular, but nice too.

I love Lily, but May/Mae as a middle name is everywhere! I don’t dislike the name itself but I’d go for something a bit different personally.

It's fine, but very common now. I know 2 Lily May/Mae's and 3 other Lilys.

Both a bit wet and certainly wouldn't put them together.
Bearable on a dainty toddler but otherwise no.
