Looking for a new nickname

Hey Berries!

My name is Lily, I have never really had a nickname which has stuck, as a baby and young child I was nicknamed Twinkle and Snorkel as cute and funny nicknames, however, I am now 15 and haven’t had a nickname for upwards of 10 years. Apart from Tigerlily which was a nickname from a teacher who has sadly passed away so I would rather not use that.

My middle name is May and my surname begins with a D, I am pretty small (4’11") and I have a slight addiction to The Sims 4 and coffee (can’t be just me, right?) Feel free to use any of these to create a slightly more quirky nickname that nobody else would have though this is optional!

Requirements:
NOT Lil or Lils (Honestly, I just cannot stand them)
Preferably not Tigerlily


Can be funny, childish or classy, the only limit is no Lil or Lils

Thanks!
Lily

[name_f]Maylily[/name_f]
[name_f]Milly[/name_f] (smoosh of [name_f]May[/name_f] and Lily)
[name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_m]Lay[/name_m] or Laylay

I think [name_m]Lay[/name_m] is cute, probably the one I’d be most likely to use!
Thanks for helping, there is very few nicknames after I take away [name_f]Lil[/name_f] and Lils, haha!

If you’d like a longer nickname, I’ve always been fond of Lily ‘Lilika’

I think [name_f]Lima[/name_f] or [name_f]Lima[/name_f] [name_u]Bean[/name_u] would be cute! It takes the first two letters of your first name, and combines it with the first two letters of your middle name!

[name_f]My[/name_f] name is also [name_f]Lily[/name_f]! Here are some nicknames I’ve been called: Lillers, Lilithan, [name_f]Lilith[/name_f], Lil-Lil, Lilypad. There’s not much you can do with a 2 syllable name without getting creative.

I second Lily-Pad

though I would respect if you want to stay back from plant names since you had to stay back from [name_u]Tiger[/name_u] [name_f]Lily[/name_f]

[name_f]My[/name_f] other suggestions are [name_f]Lillianna[/name_f] or [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] which could work as elaborations of [name_f]Lily[/name_f]

Ideas…

Leia/Laya/Leya (lay-uh) - combining middle and first name sounds

[name_f]Suki[/name_f] (Susan/Susannah means [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Suki[/name_f] is a nn of these)

[name_f]Lissy[/name_f]

Liddy/Lydie/Lidee (using your surname)

[name_f]Calla[/name_f] (type of Lily)

[name_f]Star[/name_f] (as in, Stargazer Lillies and Starbucks coffee)

[name_u]Fee[/name_u] (from coffee)

[name_u]Coco[/name_u] (from Cofee)

[name_u]Bean[/name_u] (as in, coffee bean)

[name_f]Essie[/name_f] (from expresso)

Dizzy (dizzy lillies)

[name_f]Lys[/name_f] (French for lily)

Leile/Lelie/laylie (based on your middle and [name_m]Dutch[/name_m] for lily)
