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.
