Hello! I posted a poll regarding this but want more feedback. I cannot choose between [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]! Which one is your favorite? What middles do you think go well with [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]? I have [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] and used to have [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Adeline[/name_f] on my list but they just don’t feel right. Any suggestions/opinions are appreciated!

Of these, probably [name_f]Lily[/name_f] for me right now! [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] is on my list, and is my preference for [name_f]Lily[/name_f] names, but I also love [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] looks so delicate and gorgeous, but it always sounds awkward when I try to say it? I think something like [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Josephine[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_u]Simone[/name_u], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], etc. would all be super beautiful.
I’d probably rank them [name_f]Liliana[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], and then [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. I adore [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] but I find her so hard to pair up.

Lillian is definitely my favorite of the three! 
I think the extra consonant against the more fluid sounds makes it particularly appealing to me. I just find it fun to say! I really like [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f]–[name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] also came to mind!

[name_f]Lily[/name_f] is simple and sweet and has many fantastic literary namesake. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] is frumpy and I know a mean one, so that taints my perception even more.
Meanwhile, if you’re just going to call her Lily, I don’t think it’s necessary to call her Lilia.
I suggest you look up the songs “[name_f]Lily[/name_f] of the [name_u]West[/name_u],” “[name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] and the [name_m]Jack[/name_m] of Hearts,” and “[name_f]Lily[/name_f] the [name_f]Pink[/name_f].” You’ll fall even deeper in love!
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Caroline[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] are my favorite combos so far!

Hello! Resident [name_f]Lily[/name_f] here 
While I love my name (and, because I am biased, it is my favorite variation), I will say I am frequently asked what it is short for. People assume [name_f]Lillian[/name_f]. Not sure if that sways you either way, but. Thought I’d mention it. I do quite like [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], I think it’s got such a nice vintage appeal. [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Margot[/name_f] is very pretty!
But since it’s not quite right…

I think [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] is gorgeous! Definitely my fave.
I think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is too over-used now and I find it too young and girly.
[name_f]Lilian[/name_f] is very nice and classic, but I still like [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] better.
Some middles for [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]?:

My name is [name_f]Lily[/name_f], short for [name_f]Lilian[/name_f]. [name_f]My[/name_f] parents almost went with just [name_f]Lily[/name_f], but wanted a more sophisticated side with the nickname [name_f]Lily[/name_f] as an option too. They went with [name_f]Victoria[/name_f] as a middle name. I do love my name as well as the gorgeous [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. I may have bias, but have to say that no matter what you choose it will be a beautiful choice. Nicknames that come to mind for [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] are [name_f]May[/name_f], [name_f]Colette[/name_f], [name_f]Winslet[/name_f], [name_u]Marlow[/name_u], [name_f]Marla[/name_f], [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], and [name_f]Violet[/name_f].

I love [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]! So sweet! And I agree with [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] being hard to pair!
Love [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]! I do like that is a more unique name to get nn [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
I do like “just” [name_f]Lily[/name_f] because in the end, that’s what I would call my daughter if I named her [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] or [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. I love the combos [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] [name_f]Sapphire[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Amara[/name_f], [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] [name_u]Harper[/name_u]!

Another [name_f]Lily[/name_f] here! I like just [name_f]Lily[/name_f] best, partially because I’m biased, but also because I tend to like simpler names. [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] feels unnecessarily frilly to me, and I agree with the previous poster who said [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] feels a bit frumpy. I also like that [name_f]Lily[/name_f] has the most direct botanical reference.
I’m a [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_f]Catherine[/name_f].
