HelpLilia (And other Lily names)
What do you think of Lilia?
Now that I’m at it, what do you think of other Lily names? Lillian/Lilian, Liliana, Lili, or just simple Lily.

Lilia is pretty and sort of quasi-fantasy princess, which is all right, but I have to be in the right mood for it. I prefer Liria, which means the same thing.
There's something so blandly pretty about most Lili- names for me. They are nice, but there's no heart to them, no personality. I can't really warm up to them, even my favourites, which are Lilith, Lilias and Lillian. I have a Lillian and a Lily in my family tree, and coming across their names was so refreshing in a sea of Johns and Marys, but out in the wild I find them a bit grating in their smooth perfection. I think they make great middle names; their inoffensive prettiness really shines there and can lighten and brighten a name quite nicely.

I think Lilia is beautiful, have for years. Lillian / Lilian, Liliana and Lily are all gorgeous as well.

I think it's very pretty, but too Spanish/Italian for me to use on an English-speaking character. But if I ever write one who is Hispanic/Latina or Italian, this will most probably be it! Lily, on the other hand, is one of my favorites.

It’s pretty. The lee-lee bit is mildly infantile, though.
I prefer Lily most of all. It’s a beautiful name, despite being common. My cousin’s name is Gabrielle Lily and I always thought that was a pretty combo.
In order, it would be Lily, Liliana, Lilia, and then Lillian. I used to kind of love Lillian but now it just feels old to me, albeit a glamorous old. 1920’s vampire-chic. Sort of dusty nonetheless, though.
