[Opinions] Re: Lily?
in reply to a message by LV51sfan91
Lily is my favorite of all times. However, I think it stand better by itself. A middle name is nice, but I wouldn't make it a double name. LLL is a bit much but still okay, don't worry, use the name you love.
The only Lily double-name I ever really liked is Lily Rose but it is very kitschy. I also kind of like Lily Anne (it sounds different from Lillian).
These are okay:
Lily Anna
Okay that was actually the only one ;)
I dislike these:
Lily Ella - sounds like "lil yeller" (little yeller)
Lily Viv - sounds really odd
Lily Savanah - Savannah is better and if you call her Lily Anna you might as well just use that
Lily Sedona - okay as a combo but too long for a double name
Lily Paige - two word names that don't make sense together
Lily Opal - no, too much, sounds like a scented candle
Lily Kate - flows okay but Kate is not so nice
The others are too much, I dislike them as well, except for these (which are okay):
Lily Claire (Lily can sound like "lil" in combos so you have to be careful what you pair it with. I like Claire but this kind of comes out as "lil éclair" when you think about it (éclair is a treat/cake-ish thing).
If you must use a double name I suggest Lily Anna from your list but I prefer Lily Anne or Lily Rose.
Lily Brooke is like "lil brook" and Lily Claire like "lil éclair" but they are okay.
