Help[Opinions] Lily, Lilias, Lilith, Lilian, Liliane, Liliana, Lilianna
At the moment I am deciding on a last name for a character of mine who I’ve named Lilias. It got me thinking of all the different Lili/Lily names. What do you think of them and which one is your favourite?

I am partial to Lillian because it seems simple and complete. It can be shortened into a nickname, such as Lilly, and it isn't too long, only 3 syllables, which allows for a large range concerning middle name syllabic-pairing.
All the Lili/Lily names are very sweet at any rate.

Oooh I've never heard Lilias but I like it!
My other top two are 1. Lilith and 2. Lily

I like two names: Lily and Lilias.
Favourite - Lilian. The classic but not boring.
Least favourite - Liliana / Lilianna or Lilith. Liliana is so super floofy and frilly. It gives strong old-school Mary-Sue self-insert fan character vibes ('uWu, my name is Liliana, I have one purple eye and one green eye and natural auburn hair with a blond streak. People hate me for my natural beauty and the fact I have a super rare beautiful name, people are always like "eugh, I hate your super gorgeous name and eyes, Lili (heart eyes)" and it's not my fault. I go by Lili, after my aunt Lily Potter :3') and makes me cringe. I hate Lilith with the burning passion of a thousand suns, I think it's used by certain people who think they're being subversive and unique and unconventional and they...are...really...not. Lilith makes me roll my eyes a lot. And I don't think it sounds good at all.
Lily is... fine. It's just... fine. It's ok. I don't hate it. I'd never use it. But it's ok. It's a bit dull.
Lilias is the best of the bunch. It's more unusual and fresher, less cliched. It's more youthful and less heavy than Lillian, and as much as I like Lillian, I think Lilias is -better- as a character name. In my opinion, you should stick with Lilias, with Lilian as a second choice... and stay well away from Liliana / Lilianna and the tired Lilith.

I like Lily and Lilith, and Liliana is okay.
I'm not a huge fan of Lily names, but my favorite is probably Lilian.
I like Lilith and Liliana, but not as much. I like Lilith, but it sounds off to me. Liliana is just a bit too long.
Lilias and Lily are fine.
I dislike Liliane and Lilianna. They're just a bit much

I like Lily, Lillian (Lilian looks misspelled to me), and Lilith. I'm also gaining an appreciation for Lillie.
The various forms of Liliana are too much even for the likes of me. I like Lily Anna quite well, but Liliana gives me a toothache.
Lilias is something I've never encountered in real life. I'd like to, because then I'm maybe have an opinion on it. I know they used it the The Secret Garden, so I should have an appreciation for it as a historical/literary name, but it just doesn't stir any feelings in me whatsoever. It's kind of odd!
