Lovely Scottish name

I don't know why you think she would be teased?

I think Lilias Mara sounds fine but why not go all Scottish and use the Scottish form Mairi: Lilias Mairi

Lilias Marie is another option, flows well (Marie as second name flows well with almost every first name).

Lilias Maria is another possibility.

I thought people might pronounce it Lily-ASS or at least other kids might!

I do like Lilias Mairi, thanks. Although I think Mara has a certain Scottish flavour too, especially as Mara means 'sea' in Gaelic. One of my reasons for choosing it was that it can mean this, rather than 'bitter'
