How to get to Lila

[name]Lila[/name] is a family name and while I think it works on its own, I was wondering if anyone had suggestions of longer names to get to [name]Lila[/name]. Other than [name]Delilah[/name] :slight_smile:

(Posting from phone, sorry for errors)

I’ve known two Carolines who go by [name]Lila[/name], although I think it’s a bit of a stretch.

[name]Just[/name] my two cents, but I think [name]Lila[/name] is so lovely on its own :slight_smile:

That’s interesting, [name]Elisabeth[/name] [name]Rae[/name]! I know soooo many baby Carolines right now in our area though :slight_smile: and I do agree that it’s quite a stretch :slight_smile:

I don’t see why [name]Lillian[/name] couldn’t be a [name]Lila[/name]. If it can get [name]Lily[/name] it can certainly get [name]Lila[/name]. Also, [name]Elizabeth[/name] is a stretch but it could work.

My pup’s name is [name]Lillian[/name]/[name]Lily[/name] but that’s a good suggestion! :slight_smile:

Analilia
[name]Elili[/name]
[name]Galilah[/name]
[name]Gelila[/name]
Halila – rightful wife
[name]Jalila[/name] – great, revered
[name]Kelila[/name] – crown ,laurel
[name]Lilac[/name]
Lilavati – god’s will
Lilen – shrub
Lilette – resembling a budding lily
[name]Lilia[/name]
[name]Liliana[/name]
[name]Lilis[/name] – of the night
[name]Lilith[/name] – of the night
Lilvina – friend of the iris
Malila – salmon going fast up a rippling spring
[name]Palila[/name] – bird
Pililani – close to heaven

I love [name]Lila[/name] too, but it doesn’t work with my last name, so I’ve been thinking of maybe using [name]Elizabeth[/name] and calling the kid [name]Lila[/name]. [name]Liliana[/name] would be pretty, too.

I was just looking at the SSA list and thought maybe [name]Galilea[/name] for you guys. Never heard it before, but that’s pretty.
