[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries,
So it’s been FOREVER since the last time I was active in these forums (I think student life just took over everything, lol) - but I’m back and I’m going to try to be a more regular contributor. This is such a wholesome community and I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s grateful for y’all <3
Now on to the actual topic 
I’ve discovered lots of new possibilities and started considering names that had traditionally been “under my radar,” with the result that my name lists are almost completely reworked. I started liking the name [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] a while ago, and the more I think about it, the more perfect it seems - it has the vintage/classic feel that I love, it matures well, it has several nickname possibilities, and it honors multiple people. However, I’ve been struggling to come up with a middle name for it that I like, and so I created this post. I’m looking for names that are more adventurous - ethereal, astrological, etc - and that flow well with [name_f]Lillian[/name_f].
Combos I considered:
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Araceli[/name_f] - pretty, but somehow feels incomplete
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] - a bit heavy on the “a” and “l” sounds
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Fae[/name_f] - for some reason I hesitate to use a one-syllable middle, since most of my other combos have five or more syllables, although I think I could eventually become more open to it (I decided against [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_u]Blythe[/name_u] for the same reason)
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Soleil[/name_f] - something about the flow feels off to me?
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Sunday[/name_f] - like, but don’t love (although it could grow on me)
So what ideas for new combos do you all have? Any thoughts on my existing combos? And any other thoughts on [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] as a fn?
(this is all hypothetical of course)
I love [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]!
