I know Liliana is not much liked on these boards, but which nn do you think works best? I love both names.

Thanks. :)

Ana [m]

Ana is sweet, simple, sturdy and can fit a woman of any age. Lily seems so frivolous and insubstantial on its own. If you want to go with a Lily name, choose Lillian -- it's dignified and will age well.

I don't know why, but I can't stand the name Lillian. It sound so stuffy to me. :(

Dignified perhaps, but Lillian is really stale and unattractive. Liliana is much nicer and brighter and can still age ok. I know a Liliana I'm guessing is in her 30s or 40s (prob'ly 40s) and it fits her well.

Lily!

Ana really bugs me. I adore Anna, but for some reason Ana looks so wrong.

I love Liliana, and Lily is adorable.

I prefer Ana. I think it's stronger and less expected than Lily.

I like both names on their own more than as nicknames for Liliana.

I like Liliana. Lily is probably most intuitive, although I love Ana as well. If I had a Liliana I'd probably call her Lily.

For the record, I love Liliana ;)

I love both Lily and Ana, but this morning I would vote for Ana. Tomorrow might be a different story though. Ana is just a little less popular, and I love the name :)

On their own, they're both boring due to overuse. Liliana is much nicer than either on its own... w/out being shortened.
