If it's the type of parents, how would suggesting an alternative name to them change anything?
Personally, I don't mind that Lily's really popular. It's sweet without being too sweet (I think the L's give it a certain awkwardness), and some names have to be more popular than others. Lily's nice. I am glad I have managed to overcome the "images" associated with names when I am considering whether they are good names or not; it enables me to be happy to meet a Lily, Emily, Emma, Victoria, James, Jacob, or William.
