I really like the name, considering that is my name. But I shall admit, when I was in primary and when they called out the roll and they always pronounced it 'lil-ja' which is incorrect so I had to correct them a lot. Once when I was 5 I told this woman how my name was spelled and she didn't believe me and wrote 'Lilya' on my bag; now when I remember it I can't help but laugh because that is how it's pronounced so I should have thanked her. Overall, a good and beautiful name, but it can be... Annoying at times.
