Liliana?

My mother suggested a name to me recently which I think has a nice sound to it. I was thinking maybe it could be a first name for the middle name [name]Calais[/name] (pronounced [name]Kal[/name]-[name]LAY[/name])?? Also I was thinking it could honor my great grandmother who was named [name]Lillian[/name].

My 2 other names for girls are [name]Bethany[/name] [name]Azalea[/name] and [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name]…do you think [name]Liliana[/name] [name]Calais[/name] would sound nice with them???

We probably would not use a nickname as we don’t really care for them.

Thanks! :slight_smile:

First of all, I love all the middle names you’ve given to your girls!
And I think [name]Liliana[/name] is a great name, but I’m sure that as she gets older, she will get the nickname [name]Lily[/name] from her friends etc, which is quite a common name now. But as long as you’re not too bothered, I think that [name]Liliana[/name] is perfect for a little girl, and works amazingly with [name]Calais[/name].

It’s a beautiful name, and [name]Lilliana[/name] [name]Calais[/name] is gorgeous. If you opt for another name, I vote for [name]Catherine[/name] [name]Lorelei[/name].

First I want to know if you’re saying lil-ee-[name]ANN[/name]-uh or lil-ee-[name]AH[/name]–nuh? I love it pronounced with the [name]AH[/name] sound and think it sounds beautiful with [name]Calais[/name] and the other girl names. I don’t like it with the [name]ANN[/name] sound with [name]Calais[/name]. I think it sounds a little weird with the [name]ANN[/name] sound and [name]Calais[/name].

I absolutely love [name]Liliana[/name]! I’m trying to decide between [name]Liliana[/name] and [name]Lillian[/name] for my own list. I think [name]Liliana[/name] [name]Calais[/name] works really well, and [name]Bethany[/name], [name]Liliana[/name], and [name]Catherine[/name] work really well together for triplet girls. :slight_smile: When I first fell for [name]Liliana[/name], I hadn’t planned to use a nn, either. I think it might be a bit hard to enforce, but the only [name]Liliana[/name] I met went by just [name]Liliana[/name], so I do think it’s doable. :slight_smile:

Good luck!

It’s a very pretty name. I do think if you want to use [name]Calais[/name], it’s better as a middle name because it’s so different from [name]Catherine[/name] and [name]Bethany[/name]. Great names…
