Lilias?
Give me your opinions on this name. While I would not rate it on the top of my list, i've grown somewhat fond of it.

Very pretty! I love it, as well as most Lily names.

I really hate it. It looks and sounds so silly to me, like more than one Lilia.

It's okay, but there was this girl who came into Starbucks (where I work) and her name was Lilia. I thought it was so pretty and unusual!

I think Lilias is a beautiful old-fashioned name that has enough class to not sound really old. I wish it was more popular here- I'd like to hear it more often!

I used to sort of like it but I just don't care for the sound of it anymore for some reason. And it makes me think "Lily Ass" (even though that's not the exact pronunciation, LOL).

I absoluetly love this name!!!! It's on my top 10 girls names! But I can't decide weather I should use Lillias or Lillia! I like it spelled Lillias because it looks more complete to me but Lilias is also nice. I also love the double Ls because then there's no cause to pronounce it Lie-lee-as just Lil-lee-as! :)It is so beautiful! And it's Scottish roots are so appealing to me!! I also love Lily & Liliana! They're all so pretty! :)I usualy go with Lillia on my list because most people don't like Lillias and I, silly me, care about what other people think, somewhat, but not totaly! I don't want the names I like to be so totaly different that my kids are laughed off the face of the earth, but I want them to be different, not too popular, and have a really cool sound! :)Lilias is totaly wonderful and not used that often! I first heard it on the movie 'Secret Garden' where Mrs. Craven is in the garden yelling "Archie! Archie!" Mr. Craven yells from the cliff "Lillias! Where are you?" And then she yells back "I'm in the garden! I'm in the garden, with Colin!"I've loved all those name since, Lillias, Archie (or Archibald) and Colin!! :)

I prefer Lilian or Lily, but I like that Lilias is more uncommon. I might use it, if I had any Scottish roots."You sought a flower and found a fruit. You sought a spring and found a sea. You sought a woman and found a soul. You are disappointed."

No...I like Lily, and I like nams that end in -ias. However, I don't like this one because all I see is "lily ass!" God, now I have "Pretty Fly for a White Guy" stuck in my head.I wish we could open our eyes

I love Lilias, and I love the fact it's so underused ... Especially with all the little Lily's being born :-)_____________________________________________________________________Elinor'Why do people with closed minds, always open their mouths?'

It sounds kind of masculine to me. I love Lily and like Lillian, but Lilias...idk. It could grow on me. ______________________

I agree. Lily, Lillian, Lilianne, and Liliana are pretty though. Lilia / Lillia is an ok name. I prefer it over Lilias.
