What do you think of Lilian or Lillian shortened to Lily?

V pretty but also quite popular.

princessglitter · 09/08/2008 22:14

I though Lilian might distinguish her from all the other Lilys, but we could use Lily as a shortened form.

I think if you want to call her Lily then there is no point calling her Lilian.

When will she be called Lilian?

Lilian is very nice.

Love it. Lilian. sound great. And, when she is a teenager, she can chose whether she is Lily or lilian.

cafebistro · 09/08/2008 22:24

Im sorry dont like lilian at all, like lilly though,

princessglitter · 09/08/2008 22:25

When she is a doctor she can be Dr Lilian but I think Lily is cute on a little girl.

Reminds me of someone I worked with years ago...she was Russian(I think)and sat making a meal from her nostils!

What about Lily-Anne?

solo · 10/08/2008 13:44

Lily-Anna

solo · 10/08/2008 13:45

One of my aunts is Lillian, but has never been called by that. She hates it.

princessglitter · 10/08/2008 13:47

Ah, well I already have a Lily-Rose but am thinking of changing it to Lilian Rose as am worried her name is too popular. Don't really want a hyphen name again, I regret giving her a hyphen name. The alternative is to keep her name as it is, but ditch the hyphen.

I like Lillian. She happens to be a very feisty (older) character in the Archers.

solo · 10/08/2008 13:49

Lily-Rose is beautiful, don't change it

blinks · 10/08/2008 13:52

there's also Lilius which I've always liked.

princessglitter · 10/08/2008 15:05

Should I change or stick with Lily-Rose
