I just found this listed on a medieval name site. To me it feels like across between the mega-popular [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & popular [name_u]Riley[/name_u]. But I think it could work well on a little girl today.
What do you guys think, is Lylie usable? Would people think it a misspelling of [name_f]Lily[/name_f]? Is it too cutesy to be a full name?
It looks a bit like someone got creative with [name_f]Kylie[/name_f], I want to like it but something seems a bit off.
I don’t like it; it looks like a mash-up of [name_f]Kylie[/name_f] and [name_u]Lyle[/name_u].
I’m pretty sure Lylie was just an archaic way of spelling [name_f]Lily[/name_f] - so [li-lee] rather than [lye-lee].
That being said, it has a pleasant sound and would fit right in with [name_f]Kylie[/name_f], [name_f]Miley[/name_f], and [name_u]Rylie[/name_u]. Maybe as a nickname for [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilac[/name_f]/[name_f]Delilah[/name_f]?
I immediately thought of [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]/[name_f]Lilah[/name_f] and [name_f]Kylie[/name_f] when I saw it. That is assuming its pronounced with a long i sound (like eye).
I think its one that would be easily mispronounced, so depends whether that bothers you or not (note that I have a daughter in this category and wouldn’t change her name for anything, if that helps!)
I thought of [name_f]Kylie[/name_f] and [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] mixed together when I saw this name. I think it’s actually really nice and would work well on a little girl today.
I think that it sounds like a child trying to say [name_f]Kylie[/name_f]/[name_u]Riley[/name_u]. Nothing terrible about it but not that attractive.
