Lilian?

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

Lily is a very pretty (obviously extremely popular) name, but Lillian just reminds me of a librarian.

Lily Rose is sweet, but lose the hyphen.

Lily Rose is a character in a brilliant set of stories called "The Family from One End Street" by Eve Garnett, and also reminds me of the painting in the Tate - Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose which is beautiful. Felt the need to share those snippets with you!

My dd is Lilly Edith. I picked the name so dh picked the spelling and i do regret not spelling it the "proper" way now, think it is much better spelt with one L in the middle.

Lilian is lovely. It's a family name on my Dad's side. It's a very dignified name and shortens to something nice and simple.
I have a very feisty nonagenarian great-aunt Lilian.

I'm not fond.

Lily/Lilly seems quite popular at the moment.

Lilian's a bit blue rinse

I like it.

Lillian's beautiful just give her Rose as a middle name like my DD2. Don't hyphenate!

My dd2's best friend is called Lillian (age 4 and a half)

Dh though she was an immaginary friend and had no iudea where dd2 had got the name from until the morning he dropped her off at nursery adn met the REAL Lillian.

I like it better that Lily. More individual. But then I am no fan of shortened names!

I love it so does DH reading over my shoulder I also like Lilith.
