HelpRe: WDYTO Lilias?
in reply to a message by Lethe
I love Lilias! It's such a wonderful change from all the other Lil names that have become so mundane in recent years.
I can definitely see it aging well and can't think of any reason why it would be anymore subject to teasing than another name. My instinct is to pronounce it LIL-ee-us. Is that right?
Lilias Mara is gorgeous. I'm not typically a huge fan of Mara (as I feel it lacks personality) but it really does work well in this combo! (I'm not big on mary either.)

Yes I pronounce it LIL-ee-as but the a is quite undefined so nearly -us if you know what I mean.
Normally I would have exactly the same impression of Mara, and I wouldn't use it as a first name, but It seems different as a middle name, especially as an honouring name.
