I despise Delilah, so that one's out. Lilia and Lila are alright, but not favorites. That leaves Liliana as my favorite, because I find it the most feminine.

Lilia seems the purest to me (like it's Latin).

---

Explanation of why I didn't pick the others:

---

Liliana is either [Lily + Ana] or [Lilian + -a] to me; I kind of like Lily / Ana but I don't image for me. Lily or Lilia is, well, purer. That said - Liliana was on my favorites list only 2-3 years ago! I think it's nice.

---

Lila is alright. If I picture it on a girl of 12 or a young woman of 20, somehow it doesn't seem "right" to me; that's probably a good sign that it'd end up seeming really hip and striking if it were given to a child born right now. (Delilah I don't care for; reminds me too much of the character and bible, and I just don't like the sound of it. I think I prefer names that have the first syllable stressed. The first syllable of Delilah seems weak to me.)

Lila. It's the most straight-forward. Liliana and Lilia are too frilly for me, and Delilah from the Bible isn't a great namesake. But I like it best after Lila.

Lilia and Lila are both lovely. I think I prefer Lilia though.

I LOVE Lilia and Lila, and like Liliana a lot. I can't possibly choose.

---

Delilah was a horrid person in the Bible, and while it is pretty, would be a bad idea.

Liliana. I think it sounds gorgeous and the others don't seem as complete.

---

THOSE ARE MY FAVORITE NAMES! I can't believe someone else is debating between them! I thought I was the only one. I'd have to say Lilia. I think it's pretty and unique.

I like Lilia and Liliana. Lilia is beautiful and Liliana is gorgeous, but it's a little frilly for some.

---

:)

I love Lilia & Liliana! Both are gorgeous names, I also really like Lila & Delilah.

---

It would be a tough choice between Lilia & Liliana as my favorite though. I would be more inclined to use Lilia, but I think that Liliana is prettier.

---

I like all of them! I like Delilah, but I don't think it would age well. I can imagine it being really cute on a little girl but I don't think an older person would appreciate it. At this point in time I'd say that my favourite is Lila, because after the Oasis song I have fallen in love with it. Also Lily is getting quite popular where I live, and Lilia and Liliana would just get shortened all the time. So I like Lila best because it is so pretty!

I love Lilia!! Liliana is nice, Lila a bit boring. Delilah is pretty but such a bad role model...

I think Lilia has the prettiest sound

I absolutely love Lilia, much more than Liliana and Lila. Whilst Liliana is exotic and Lila is sweet, I think Lilia is both of these qualities plus so much more. It can sound sweet, chic, edgy and fashionable all at the same time and is in no danger of becoming as popular as its Lil- counterparts.

I prefer Lilia. It's a nice variant to the beautiful yet just a tad too popular Lily, and I like the way it's spelled.

---

I'm not overexcited about the way the name Liliana flows (it's always seems like a bit of a mouthful to me, though there's nothing wrong with it, really), and I can't help but see the name Lila as a stripped version of the gorgeous Laila or Leila (but this is just me).

---

I think I would like the name Delilah more if it wasn't for the amusingly over-dramatic Tom Jones song "Delilah" which starts haunting me every time I hear that name :)

---

Overall, I think all the names are nice, and there's nothing wrong with them in general. They're just not among my personal favourites.

---

Quite honestly, I'm not a big fan of any of them, but I suppose Lilia would be the one I dislike least. Have you considered Lilias / Lileas and Lilith?

So oftentimes it happens that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key.

The only ones I like are Delilah and Lilia. I dont'k like the sound of Liliana and Lila.

---

What do you think of Lilian? I like this name too.

I prefer Lila, and although I like this spelling of it, I prefer Leila.

Lilia is one of my fav because it has such a nice flow. The name sounds so delicate and beautiful. Liliana is nice but not as soft.
