Would [name_f]Lila[/name_f] be an acceptable nickname for the names:
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Olivia[/name_f]

Her middle name will be [name_f]Rose[/name_f].

Or would it be better to do:
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]
Any other combinations? I know there is [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]… [name_f]Delilah[/name_f] is not an option.

[name_m]How[/name_m] would you pronounce it? [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-lah?
If yes, then i find it very creative as a nickname for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] and [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]. I think i prefer it as a nn for [name_f]Emilia[/name_f].

Hmm, it’s not unworkable (you can nickname her whatever you like, after all!) but to me [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is far enough from both of those names as to seem a little bit contrived… I think I prefer it as a first name on its own, if that’s what you plan to call her.

Or how about [name_f]Lila[/name_f] as a nickname for…

[name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilith[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilias[/name_f]
[name_f]Lorelei[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Liliana[/name_f]
[name_f]Leila[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Lila[/name_f] as a stand-alone name especially if that is what she will be going by. It complicates things to give her one name and call her another, especially when it is a lovely and legitimate name on its own.

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] would be my preference.

But as pp have mentioned, I think it depends on how you’re pronouncing [name_f]Lila[/name_f] - if it’s like [name_u]Lee[/name_u]-la, I think [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] could work, as could [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Lilian[/name_f] or [name_f]Kelila[/name_f]. If it’s Lie-luh, I prefer it as a stand alone

I think [name_f]Lila[/name_f] could definitely work as a nickname for [name_f]Emilia[/name_f], and could work for [name_f]Olivia[/name_f], but the former seems more intuitive. I absolutely [name_f]ADORE[/name_f] [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]: Elegant, flowing, and modern. That would definitely be my choice. One other option: [name_f]Lila[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]?

No, Lie-luh

I love the flow of [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f].
I agree with the previous commenters, [name_f]Lila[/name_f] on its own is such a pretty name. It doesn’t really fit as a nickname for either [name_f]Emilia[/name_f] or [name_f]Olivia[/name_f] (to me).
