Re: Lily, Lilias, Lilith, Lilian, Liliane, Liliana, Lilianna

Favourite - Lilian. The classic but not boring.
Least favourite - Liliana / Lilianna or Lilith. Liliana is so super floofy and frilly. It gives strong old-school Mary-Sue self-insert fan character vibes ('uWu, my name is Liliana, I have one purple eye and one green eye and natural auburn hair with a blond streak. People hate me for my natural beauty and the fact I have a super rare beautiful name, people are always like "eugh, I hate your super gorgeous name and eyes, Lili (heart eyes)" and it's not my fault. I go by Lili, after my aunt Lily Potter :3') and makes me cringe. I hate Lilith with the burning passion of a thousand suns, I think it's used by certain people who think they're being subversive and unique and unconventional and they...are...really...not. Lilith makes me roll my eyes a lot. And I don't think it sounds good at all.
Lily is... fine. It's just... fine. It's ok. I don't hate it. I'd never use it. But it's ok. It's a bit dull.
Lilias is the best of the bunch. It's more unusual and fresher, less cliched. It's more youthful and less heavy than Lillian, and as much as I like Lillian, I think Lilias is -better- as a character name. In my opinion, you should stick with Lilias, with Lilian as a second choice... and stay well away from Liliana / Lilianna and the tired Lilith.
