Lily - alternative longer versions

[katie3677]

DH and I both like the name Lily for a DD but as we have a one syllable surname feel we ought to go for the longer version. DH likes Lilian, I don't. Does anyone know any other names that Lily could be short for?

Strike that. Violet Elizabeth Bott was the annoying lispy little girl in Just William. Most people under 40 won't have heard of her anyway.

Lily Bott sounds a bit like Liliput to me.

I love Lilith.

Lilian?

Liliana?

I used to work for a woman called Ljiljana.

BotBot - did you work for a publishing company by any chance?

Hi what about Lillianne,lillith or using a double barrelled names but if you do i would choose somethin abit more origianl than may!
Lily-grace
Lily-anna
Lily-anne
that kind of thing but honestly if you both like lily on it on i'd go for it Lily Bott sound absolutely fine to me.Good luck deciding!

I like Lillianna, love the name Lily but couldn't call my child Lilly as its my dogd name .

Evangeline?

Lilliana Bott is lovely - (pronounced Lilyarna as opposed to Lilyanna though)

a friend of mine called her DD lilly-ella which i think is beautiful

lilly-ella bott perfect
xx ei xx

i was considering calling our little girl Liliana Mae, But OH doesnt like it! I think Liliana is lovely!

I also love evangeline!

DD1 is a Lily Grace and she very 'independant' !

Thanks everyone, think we've agreed on Liliana...for now. Really appreciate your opinions.
