Thoughts on Lilia?

[Frenchylove]

We can’t have Lily or Olivia so thought this could be a nice alternative. Thoughts please

THIS. ^ Do not do this to your daughter @Frenchylove Lilia is a brand of sanitary towel! 😱

Stick with Lily or Olivia.

@BatchCookBabe if the sanitary towels were still being sold I obviously wouldn't even consider it but for something that was discontinued in the 1980's, way before I and the majority of my friends were born I don't think it's a major thing
As mentioned I can't go with Lily or Olivia

They were around in the 2000s. Correction: those were Tesco own brand tampons.

As for the name now, it is nothingy and will blend in with all the Lily,Lila, Lilah, Lola type names.

Lilia is the Latin translation for 'lily'. I have only ever come across it on an author (Lilia Tarawa) and a Lithuanian child who was in the news some time ago.

Objectively, I think that it is a nice name and it's a bit more interesting than Lily, Ellie, etc. As someone who wasn't around in the 1980's, I've never heard of it being a sanitary towel brand until now!

Depends why you can't use Lily or Olivia? If it's because they're already in your close circle, then having a Lilia may be a bit too much (especially as you say you have Lilah in the family too).

Personally I find Lilia a bit of a mouthful.

Lola

Getting a 1970 playlist going here.
Going to have Lo-lo-lo-lo-Lola in my head all day now.

My eldest is 13 and there are a few Lilias around her age. I think it was because of the dancer on Strictly that point. I like it. Almost like a softer version of Lydia

@HonoriaBulstrode ,Lily the Pink.

Laura, Lydia?

I have always liked the name, since I saw the film, The Ten Commandments years ago.

Don’t like it, can’t specify why but it does have a vibe of feminine hygiene products. What about Vilja?

I don't like it but I'm not sure why. There are no strong letters or sounds to it so sounds quite bland and forgettable. Rhymes with sillier but that's just me. It sounds made up although I can see it's a longstanding name.

What other names are in the running?

Lilya 4ever 😢🥲😭

The most heartbreaking and depressing thing I’ve ever seen, and I include all films, documentaries, mini series… everything.. in this.

I immediately thought of sanitary towels too. So it’d be a no for me.

Lilias ? - lots in my family tree (although some were known as Lily), but it’s not a name I ever see come up now.

I'm too young to know about the brand mentioned and really like the name!

Would also suggest
Lydia
Lucinda
Lilith

Stunning imo. Lilia is so pretty and elegant and on my own list. I don’t know why it is so underused in the UK when Lily and Olivia are very popular (Lilia is much more popular internationally especially in Eastern Europe). Maybe people worry it will get misheard as Lydia? But I’m not sure that’s a big deal. I suppose just like with Lily there might be spelling issues -Lily/Lilly or Lilia/Lillia.

How about Lydia, Lela (pr 'leela), or Livia?

Lilia is nice but it does remind me of sanitary products and others may have the same association.

Lillia reminds me of Lilo Lil or Lill -Lets , sorry... it's an old reference, along with the sanitary towels...But there are so many girls with L names now too, especially derivatives of Olivia.....Lily Lyla Lyra Lola Layla Livia and also my name, Leah ( but I'm 55), ..Lillibet is obviously getting more popular too.
Would avoid but up to you, obviously.
Similar, feminine , but different is Eleni ?

Leah is such a gorgeous name.

Along the same L lines - Leonie?

I prefer Lilias but that could be a familiarity thing. I’m in Scotland. Lilia is pretty though. Lydia, Lynette and Laura could be other possibilities.

Is your surname White?

Lilia/Lillets - anyone who has used a dispensing machine in the Ladies would have bought one, towel or tampon.

Yes.. I don’t mind it but this did spring to mind

How about Livia?

Or Lucia

Luella

Leonie

Cassia

Saskia
