HelpRe: Lilia, Liliana, or Lila (wdyt?)
in reply to a message by ErinM27
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.)
