[Opinions] Lovely Scottish name
in reply to a message by Lethe
I don't know why you think she would be teased?I think Lilias Mara sounds fine but why not go all Scottish and use the Scottish form Mairi: Lilias MairiLilias Marie is another option, flows well (Marie as second name flows well with almost every first name).Lilias Maria is another possibility.

I thought people might pronounce it Lily-ASS or at least other kids might! I do like Lilias Mairi, thanks. Although I think Mara has a certain Scottish flavour too, especially as Mara means 'sea' in Gaelic. One of my reasons for choosing it was that it can mean this, rather than 'bitter'
