[Opinions] "she would not be Lily"
in reply to a message by Millie
Unless you are planning on having a child with no opinion - and I would say the odds of that are quite miniscule, I don't think you can count on her not ever being Lily. Both Lilian and Lillian very naturally shorten to Lily. If you adopt a different nickname early on, then it may be unlikely that she would choose Lily, but she still may choose it and you'd have to get over it. Just sayin'
I prefer Lillian, because Liliana is a bit frilly and over the top for me. I agree that Lil is cute either way. An(n)a or Liana could also work for Liliana.

I agree. This is why I'm 100% against using a name if you dislike the shortened version. What if the kid likes being called Lily? Then you would hear a name you hate every day. Not fun.
