I am comprising with my husband on the name Lillian as babies MIDDLE NAME ONLY. I’m sorry to use caps to say that but other places I’ve posted have ignored this and tell me to use Lillian as the first name or Lily and both names I greatly dislike. Lillian is my husbands Mothers name and that is why we have to use it. I don’t want to use it but I won’t be forced to use it as babies first name as I DONT LOVE IT. Please note that MIL doesn’t have a middle name
With that being said, please respect what’s stated above. I know some of these name combos aren’t the best but at this point I’m just going for something I love or like because I just can’t do Lillian or Lily as a first name.
Adeline Lily
Abigail Lillian or Abigail Lily
Brooklyn Lily
Brooke Lillian (two nature names though???)
Bridget Lily or Bridget Lillian (bad flow?)
Claire Lillian (I don’t think this flows well?) PS Clara is my dogs name so I can’t use that.
Cara Lillian (like Carrie)
Faith Lillian
Ida Lillian
Madeline Lily (like the book)
Madelyn Lily
Olivia Lily Dawn (Dawn is a family name too)
Ruby Lillian (I’m not convinced with this one as I feel they are both nature word names)
Sophie Lillian or Sophia Lillian
Tessa Lillian
Vivian Lily or Vivian Lily Rose (Rose is a family name too)
Thank you!
Remember no Lillian or Lily as a first name option. I’m not doing it!!! I hope you all are more helpful than these other sites/apps!
If you don’t like [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]/[name_f]Lily[/name_f] could you use [name_f]MIL[/name_f]'s middle name or maiden name as a middle?
From your list I like:
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] (does popularity bother you? with all the various spellings [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] is pretty popular)
[name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] (flows fine to me)
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] (I think [name_f]Clara[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] flows a bit better)
[name_f]Faith[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] (cute and unexpected, my favorite from your list)
[name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] (the other pronunciation runs together with [name_f]Lily[/name_f] a bit to me)
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] (second favorite)
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f], [name_u]Vivian[/name_u], and [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] run together with [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] too much to me.
From your list I think [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is gorgeous, also [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]!
The ones I like on your list, from most favorite down:
[name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] ([name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] would be lovely)
[name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] (depending on last name this honestly flows fine)
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
I like [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
They’re really lovely combos.
I think ultimately you should choose the first name you love the most and fit either [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] to it. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] should go with most names.
[name_m]Don[/name_m]'t stress too much about flow or two nature names. Full names are hardly ever said and I don’t think people would notice
My favourites are [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] - lovely names and great combos! I also like [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Cara[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_f]Sophie[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. I like [name_f]Abigail[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] too even though the L end and beginning are not ideal - I think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] flows better than [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] with [name_f]Abigail[/name_f].
I’m sorry you feel forced to use a middle name you hate Is [name_f]MIL[/name_f]'s maiden name something usable? My favorite combos are:
[name_f]Adeline[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] (I only like this if you’re pronouncing [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] with a [name_f]LINE[/name_f] ending and not a [name_u]LYNN[/name_u] ending)
[name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Sophia[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
Congrats on your baby due in [name_f]October[/name_f]! Thanks for the reminder not to stress I’ve been doing a lot of that lately especially over girl names…
Would your husband be okay with variants of [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]/[name_f]Lily[/name_f] for a middle name that you’d enjoy a bit more and help with flow, 'cause you said some of the combos you don’t like, so it could help. [name_m]Just[/name_m] in case, here’s some suggestions:
[name_f]Lillianne[/name_f] (With a hard “anne”)
[name_f]Lilias[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] (lie-la)
[name_f]Lillianna[/name_f]
My top choices are [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], and [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]~
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is so lovely. I like [name_f]Ida[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] too, but would prefer [name_f]Ada[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and its a good inbetweener of two on your list - [name_f]Ida[/name_f] and [name_f]Adeline[/name_f].
[name_f]Celia[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Vera[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_f]Evanna[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] ([name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], if [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] could be another option)
My favorites are [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. I think the flow is good on both and don’t think the latter stands out as 2 nature names. [name_f]Bridget[/name_f] [name_f]Lily[/name_f] would also be beautiful. It would depend on which sounds best with the last name.
Is [name_f]MIL[/name_f]'s maiden name something usable? My favorite combos are:
