I really like it but I'm a bit unsure about the pronunciation. Is it LIL-ee-us or lil-EYE-us? Either way I think it's gorgeous:)

There is a Lilias (one L) in a class I attend. She is of Scottish parentage, it being originally a Scottish pet form of Elizabeth, and it is pronounced lil-ee-as.
The single L is the most usual spelling, I believe.
