Lilly and Elizabeth
I have a Lilly but my husband loves the name Elizabeth for our next daughter. Do you think the names are too similar?

Lilly is very similar to Libby or Lizzie, nicknames for Elizabeth. Lilly Elizabeth is alright, but Elizabeth Lilly is odd because is she was nicknames Libby, it would be Libby Lilly! lol

I think they're a bit similar because Lily/Lilly/Lilibet/Lilibeth can be traditional nicks for Elizabeth. As long as you don't call her Ellie, Lizzie or Libby, you should be fine.

Lilly and Elizabeth are fine, as long as you don't call them Lilly and Lizzy. Beth and Eliza are much better suited for this situation.

It's ok, just don't name them Lilly and Lizzy, nn Beth or Eliza would be no problem imo.

I personally find them to be rather similar - I knew a girl called Elizabeth whose nickname was Lily, though. It's the Li- part, really.

I don't think they're too similar, if Elizabeth goes by Beth or Eliza, not Lizzie. When is your second daughter due? I'm due in June.- MelissaArielle Norah
