Help[Opinions] Re: Liliana vs Lillian?
in reply to a message by Millie
I much prefer Lillian. I know Lillian is more common right now but I think that'll change soon and if you combine spellings Liliana is in the top 100 as well.
Lillian just makes me think of silent movie glamour (Lillian Gish) whereas Liliana seems so princess-y. It might be because many names that end in -a or -ana annoy me at the moment. I can't wait until names that end in -e or -n or even -ine come back into style. There are so many similar names to Liliana such as Ariana and Mariana as well as Adriana which are popular now.
I actually prefer it spelled Lillie as a nickname for Lillian and I like it, of course. But I think it's avoidable. She might however decide by herself to go by it later on. I don't think Lil is unavoidable as all, I know a Liliana who always gets called by her full name, never Lil or Lily. I know another one who is always Lilly. I really dislike Lil.
