HelpRe: Lillian
in reply to a message by LapinLavender
I think of it in connection to Lily and not Elizabeth despite knowing the origin, and I think that's common. I feel like folk etymologies can be valid.
Lillian is like the quintessential "prim" name to me...not necessarily in a negative way...just, my strongest impression is of someone with a stiff upper lip.
I'd group it with Winifred, Vivian, Irene, Lavinia, Priscilla, Gillian...
Lillian and Florence would be a nice sibset; they both seem very Edwardian yet modern and flowy.
I like Eve Lillian, of the combos.
