How do you pronounce Lilias?

I’ve been looking into [name_f]Lily[/name_f] variants recently (I love the sound and feel of [name_f]Lily[/name_f] but it’s become way too common, I’ve never liked [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], and I love [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] but it’s becoming too popular) and I came across [name_f]Lilias[/name_f].

I’m not completely sure how to say it, “lil-lee-ahs”?

*What are some other [name_f]Lily[/name_f] variants?

*What’s your favorite [name_f]Lily[/name_f] variant?

*[name_m]How[/name_m] do you feel about [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]?

I pronounce it [name_f]LILY[/name_f]-iss.

This is fave [name_f]Lily[/name_f] variant right now, followed by [name_f]Lillian[/name_f].

I wonder if Lilienne is a name.

[name_f]Lily[/name_f]-rose is ok. [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] seem so common to me, that seeing a hyphenated name with both is a tad boring. No offense.

[name_f]Lilith[/name_f], [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], and [name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f] may interest you.

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] is by far my fav [name_f]Lily[/name_f]/[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] variant! I’m not a fan of [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]…too theme-y for my tastes.

I’m more used to seeing it spelled [name_f]Lileas[/name_f] but I would assume it is pronounced the same. I say it like [name_f]LILY[/name_f]-iss.
[name_f]Lileas[/name_f] is probably my favourite [name_f]Lily[/name_f] name.

I like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] names a lot! I’ve heard [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] said lye-LEES, lily-ahs, and I’m pretty sure I’ve heard it a couple other ways, too, although I can’t remember them off the top of my head.

Other [name_f]Lily[/name_f] variants (besides the more common [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] and [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]):

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliosa[/name_f]
Lilikoi
[name_f]Elisabeth[/name_f]/[name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]
[name_f]Lili[/name_f] (Welsh spelling; still pronounced the same)
Lilevi
[name_f]Lilou[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilibet[/name_f]

[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is my current favorite, but I also really love [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. If I ever use [name_f]Lily[/name_f] as a FN, it’d probably be one of those forms, but [name_f]Liliosa[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f] are GPs of mine, as well. If I used it as a middle, I’d probably use just [name_f]Lily[/name_f], though. I like the simplicity of it as a middle.

[name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f]… it’s too floral for me. And I’m not the hugest [name_f]Rose[/name_f] fan (even though I adore [name_f]Rosie[/name_f]). I am not opposed to [name_f]Lily[/name_f] as a part of a double-barrel, though. Something like [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Claire[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Camille[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_u]June[/name_u] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Jane[/name_f] would be really sweet.

I would say lily-us sort of

My favorite is [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Liliana[/name_f]

and Liliy-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] is way too much flower for one name to me.

7

I say it [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-uss. I personally don’t like it, sorry!

[name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Rose[/name_f] is super popular in [name_m]French[/name_m] speaking Canadians. I find it redundant, two flower names.

My favourite [name_f]Lily[/name_f] name is [name_f]Lilyanne[/name_f] / [name_f]Lily[/name_f]-[name_f]Anne[/name_f]. I prefer this pronunciation to [name_f]Lillian[/name_f].
