Thoughts on Lilia or Liliana for a girl’s name

[CheeryMintHiker]

Thoughts on the girls name Lilia or Liliana (PS - i’m not bothered about the fact that Lilia was a sanitary brand product as it’s doesn’t affect my generation)

middle name will most likely be Florence or Iris but again not to worried about how it flows with middle name as people rarely hear the full name anyway

Honestly I’d just use Lily. It’ll be shortened anyway.

Both fine but I much prefer Iris and Florence for first names.
i think Iris Florence has a lovely ring to it.

I agree with this ~ Iris Florence is so much nicer than Lilia or Liliana

And, as previously mentioned by another PP, both Lilia & Liliana would be shortened to Lily so Iris wouldn't be an ideal 2nd name as it would be the names of 2 flowers

Thankyou, which is your favourite

Iris Florence
Iris Aurelia
Iris Isadora

Iris Florence out of those options

I think Lilia is a very awkward sound. I also think Iris sounds very awkward due to the double vowel, especially with Liliana.

My 19 year old Dd has 3 friends called Lillia / Lilia. I've always found it unnecessarily flouncy. None off them are shortened to Lily; they're all 'Lils'.

I think both are lovely, I particularly like Lilia - it’ll only get shortened to lily if you want it to

Prefer Lily. The alternatives sound a bit “extra”.

Iris Florence is so gorgeous

My child has one of these names, it’s never shortened

Love Isadora. Iris Florence is lovely

What about Lela? Pronounced leh-la. Always loved that name

Iris Florence is fabulous

There are a lot of Irises around.

For me Liliana Florence OR Lilia Florence works too, if you must have two names. Lilia and Iris are both names of flowers, so don't work well together.

Liliana or Lilia are not overused in English - and also work internationally, used in Spanish/Italian.

One of my my dogs is called Lilyanna. The other one Izzabella. I like the name.

Florence and Iris are sweet but both are becoming more popular. I prefer Liliana to Lilia though neither are 10/10.

Liliana Florence 7
Iris Aurelia 9
Iris Isadora 8
Iris Isotta 10
Iris Florence 9
Iris Arrietta 10

Liliana is so much nicer than Iris.

I know a Lilian and I prefer that to Lilia and Liliana which are both a bit more grand sounding. Depends what you like, all 3 are perfectly nice names but I’d choose Lilian. I also like Iris and Florence but both are much more popular in my area.

This is so useful and LOVE the suggestions definitely my style

worry Iris Florence is 2 common names and want a slightly more out there fun middle name

what are your thoughts on

Iris Apolina/apoline
iris Aphia (pronounced ‘a-fee-a’)

Love Iris arietta !

I think Lilia is really pretty. I’m not keen on Liliana as much.
However I love Iris and Florence.
Not keen on Arietta though.

Are you Eastern European for Lilya/Lilia?

I've always thought it was a bit of a tongue twister even when pronounced correctly

Thoughts on the girls name Lilia or Liliana They're the overused Lily made frillier and don't have the elegant simplicity that makes Lily nice.

Of Iris Florence, Iris Aurelia and Iris Isadora, I don't really like any of them.
Apolina/apoline, Aphia and Arietta are not 'fun'.

You've started several threads.

I really don’t like either. So fussy and twee. Lily or Lilian are much nicer.
