We are expecting our third child (second daughter) in a few weeks, and we still haven’t decided on a name. The one that is currently at the top is [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]. Our last name starts with L and is two syllables. Is that too many Ls?
Also, our other kiddos are [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] works with that, right?
Thanks!
[name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] are very sweet together. Personally I prefer to not repeat ending sounds like [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] do but if that doesn’t bother you then style wise they all match very well.
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] L_____ sounds very repetitive with syllables and letters. If your last name didn’t start with L I would say maybe but 3 L’s are too many imo. What are some other names you like? Berries are very good a recommendations.
All those L’s sound crazy repetive. If it were me I would toss either [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] or [name_f]Louise[/name_f] and replace it with a name that doesn’t start with a L.
I’ll assume you’ll keep [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and toss in a few middle names. I prefer [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] as it’s more of a substantial name.

[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] … though [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Kate[/name_f] sounds cute to

[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
Three L’s are a lot, it’ll be a tongue twister for the poor darling. [name_m]How[/name_m] about these instead?
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Mae[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Hannah[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Ava[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Skye[/name_u]
I think [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] is a very pretty combo and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] goes well with [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_m]Jack[/name_m]. I am going to be the odd man out and say just go with it. You rarely ever say the three names together. I think I have said my DD’s full name out loud maybe twice since she was born.
I don’t think its undo-able. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] L_____ is a lot of alliteration-- but as long as your last name doesn’t rhyme with [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] I think it would work out ok. I think rhyming alliteration between first and last name is more of a problem then three L names in a row.
[name_u]Ruby[/name_u], [name_m]Jack[/name_m] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sound nice together!
[name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] are great together!
As to the alliteration, two questions:
Does your surname have any more Ls in it other than the one it starts with? [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_m]Lester[/name_m] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_m]Leonard[/name_m] sound fine to me; [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] Lawler and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_m]Lowell[/name_m] sound more tongue-twistery.
Are you planning to call her [name_f]Lily[/name_f] most/all of the time, or only sometimes? With [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] there’s another syllable between the first name and the L at the beginning of the last name; [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] Letson is a bit easier to say than [name_f]Lily[/name_f] Letson.
[name_f]Louise[/name_f] in the middle name spot doesn’t bother me, as the middle name usually doesn’t see a lot of use - it’s the first/last name combos that I’d focus on. If you’re not totally committed to [name_f]Louise[/name_f], you could always use an L-less middle name, but practically speaking, I don’t think [name_f]Louise[/name_f] is the potentially tricky part here.
[name_m]Jack[/name_m], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] are perfect together. Personally I’d avoid using [name_f]Louise[/name_f] as a middle and try and break it up with a different sound.
You could try…
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] (a nice alternative for [name_f]Louise[/name_f], not quite as L heavy but still a little)
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Ada[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Hope[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]! I would call her [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] instead of [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
Thanks for the great feedback!
[name_f]Louise[/name_f] is my Mom’s middle name, and I just love it. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is DH’s Grandma’s name, and he just loves it. So, we know that [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] Lushbough is a time-tested name. 
It’s just having three Ls – [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] Lushbough – that has me a bit nervous.
Have you considered using [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] in the middle? [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] Lushbough breaks up the l’s a bit but still honors your mother with [name_f]Louise[/name_f] being in [name_f]Eloise[/name_f].
I love, love, love alliterative names! I say use [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f]. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Louise[/name_f] Lushbough is dreamy and [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u] is adorable.
Good luck!
Ooh! I love [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Lou[/name_u]! So sweet!
