Help[Opinions] Re: Lilia (And other Lily names)
in reply to a message by MasterCiaraXo
Lilia is pretty and sort of quasi-fantasy princess, which is all right, but I have to be in the right mood for it. I prefer Liria, which means the same thing.
There's something so blandly pretty about most Lili- names for me. They are nice, but there's no heart to them, no personality. I can't really warm up to them, even my favourites, which are Lilith, Lilias and Lillian. I have a Lillian and a Lily in my family tree, and coming across their names was so refreshing in a sea of Johns and Marys, but out in the wild I find them a bit grating in their smooth perfection. I think they make great middle names; their inoffensive prettiness really shines there and can lighten and brighten a name quite nicely.
