Lilia
What do you think of Lilia? I liked it a long time ago but then it started to sound kind of empty to me. I'm just starting to like it again. Lily is one of my faves and has been since I was little, but it's so common that I'd prefer a less popular variant.
I would only call her Lily sometimes at home, but most of the time she'd be Lilia because I enjoy saying it.
I pronounce it LIL-lee-ah. Would you pronounce it the same? Do you think it'll get mixed up with Lillian or Liliana? Are the Lily-names too common to use Lilia?

Oooo, pretty. I've never heard Lilia before. I'd pronounce it LIL-lee-ah, same as you. I just looked up the popularity of Lily. I didn't know it was so high. I'm never met a Lily and only know of one Lillian. I think Lilia is different enough that it wouldn't get mixed up with the other Lil-s. Like I said, it's very pretty. I say go for it.
I'd pronounce it the same way as you. But I very much dislike it. Too many vowels, too frilly in all the wrong ways. I'm just not a fan. I don't think it'd get confused with Lillian or Liliana. Speaking of, I much prefer Lily and Lillian to Liliana and Lilia. Lily-names are very common, at least in the US, but if you really like it, don't let that put you off.
