Recently I’ve been crushing on two names, [name_f]Colette[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. Completely different styles I know, but they are both appealing to me in their own way.
[name_m]Just[/name_m] a few questions…
Which do you prefer and why?
Does [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sound too nickname ish? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] is a more proper name?
Which middle do you like best with [name_f]Lily[/name_f]? [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u]?
Having a hard time thinking of middles that flow well with [name_f]Colette[/name_f]? Any suggestions?
I love [name_f]Colette[/name_f]. It’s a bit more original, and is so pretty! In terms of middle names…hmmm…[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]? [name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Grace[/name_f]? [name_f]Colette[/name_f]…[name_u]Simone[/name_u]? [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]? [name_f]Vivienne[/name_f]? [name_u]Hadley[/name_u]? [name_f]Olivia[/name_f]? [name_f]Anne[/name_f]?
Why not [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f]? I also like [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. I think they all sound good with [name_f]Colette[/name_f] in the middle as well.
Which do you prefer and why? [name_f]Colette[/name_f]. I dislike [name_f]Lily[/name_f] for personal reasons but, I think [name_f]Colette[/name_f] just sounds better.
Does [name_f]Lily[/name_f] sound too nickname ish? [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] is a more proper name? It doesn’t sound too nickname-ish but, I do think [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilian[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] is more proper.
Which middle do you like best with [name_f]Lily[/name_f]? [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u]? I like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] better but I think [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u] sounds even better than that.

[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Adelaide[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Jewel[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Marie[/name_f]
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
I really like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Colette[/name_f]. [name_f]Colette[/name_f] is…eh. I know [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is popular, but it is very lovely. You could also go for [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] as alternatives.
I love [name_f]Colette[/name_f]. I can appreciate that [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is sweet but it’s too popular for my taste. I personally know three little girl [name_f]Lily[/name_f]'s and hear the name all the time. I think a longer name like [name_f]Lilian[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilith[/name_f] would be best if you go with [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] is sweet, but popular.
[name_f]Colette[/name_f] is a better choice. It sounds more sophisticated. It’s not as common as [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. You might like [name_f]Nicolette[/name_f], [name_f]Odette[/name_f], or [name_f]Cosette[/name_f].
[name_f]Lettie[/name_f] could be a nn - it sounds a bit like [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is a more grown up choice, with the nn [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] is so frilly and overly exotic. I like [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. It’s exotic, but not too much.
I do like both [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Colette[/name_f], but I would pick [name_f]Colette[/name_f].
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f] is so beautiful and then you can use the spunky nn [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Cosette[/name_f], but have negative associations with [name_f]Colette[/name_f] (sorry)
Gosh, I can see why you are torn! They are both beautiful names.
I love [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], even though it is a bit overused.
I think [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] is a great stand -alone name, [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] just doesn’t have that shine
[name_f]Lilly[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f] is just heavenly
[name_f]Collette[/name_f] could go well with [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] if you are super torn.
some more middles:
[name_f]Paloma[/name_f]
[name_f]Guinivere[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
vivienne
gabrielle
[name_f]Sedona[/name_f]
[name_f]Linnea[/name_f]
I think I prefer [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. There are at least three Lilys under the age of three in a mile radius of my house, but I just think it sounds nicer than [name_f]Colette[/name_f].
