Lilia?

I love nature names, always have always will but it’s hard to find one that’s not over used or that doesn’t sound too “out there” or hippy-ish. I have [name]Dahlia[/name] near the top of my list as an example.
ANYWAY. My friend suggested [name]Lilia[/name] ([name]LILY[/name]-uh) last weekend and the name has been resonating in my head since then. What do you think? It’s close enough to [name]Lily[/name] to bring the flower (one of my favorites) to mind, but is it too close that it will get lost in a sea of [name]Lily[/name]/[name]Leila[/name]/Lillians? Its pretty, but is it boring? And has the nature aspect of the name gotten lost?

Ahh, I love [name]Lilia[/name]! [name]Lily[/name] names have a lot of significance for me, and I’m always flipflopping on which I like best. But [name]Lilia[/name] has these ethereal feel to it, like it’s distinct and separate from all the other [name]Lily[/name] names. I would love to meet a [name]Lilia[/name]!

Thanks, I mentioned it to my brother also and he approved, which is saying something seeing as he’s been pretty harsh with my name proposals so far. :slight_smile: I’ve never met a [name]Lilia[/name] either so I think it’s worthy enough to put on my list… Though I don’t know if it will surpass [name]Dahlia[/name] or not.

It’s pretty. Simple, easy to say and like you said- an easy way to [name]Lily[/name]. I kind of prefer many other nature names over this one, and even [name]Liliosa[/name] or [name]Lila[/name]. But, double L names are very hip right now.

( [name]Lilou[/name], [name]Lilac[/name], [name]Lola[/name]…)

In theory I love the name [name]Lilia[/name], I agree with previous poster about it having an ethereal feel to it. I don’t think it will get lost amongst the other [name]Lily[/name]'s out there, yet it’s similar enough to suit the super popular double L names at the moment. However, when I say the name it doesn’t roll easy for me, like I haven’t quit finished saying the name? I’m not sure how to explain it properly… It is still currently on my short list for baby no. 3 though! It’s so beautiful!

I have a major soft spot for [name]Lily[/name], [name]Lilac[/name] & [name]Lilia[/name] :slight_smile:

[name]Love[/name] [name]Lilia[/name]!

[name]Just[/name] out of curiosity - how do people pronounce [name]Lilia[/name]?

I adore [name]Lilia[/name]. It’s one of my favorite [name]Lily[/name] names, followed closely by [name]Lilias[/name] and [name]Lilith[/name]. I pronounce it LIH-lee-uh.
