Re: Lilia?
in reply to a message by Cristi-es
I think that I like Lilia better because it's my niece's name. I do love them both, but now Lilia has a lovely little girl who I love attached to it!
My brother liked Lilia but didn't want her called Lili because he thinks it sounds old. So my SIL spelled it out as Lilleah to appease my brother's wish to see the "Leah" in the name. The intention was that she be called Leah as a nick name. Personally, I prefer the name spelled Lilia. And oddly enough, they don't even call her Leah, they call her Lela (prn lee-lah)...all the kre8tiv spelling for naught.
