Hey everyone!
I love the name [name_f]Lily[/name_f]: it’s got no intuitive nicknames, feminine and pretty, and has a nice meaning and associations.
What are some more names like [name_f]Lily[/name_f] that fit this vibe, but feel slightly more “mature”?
It’s beautiful, but I’m finding it hard to envision on somebody over a certain age.
Thank you all so much!

As a [name_f]Lily[/name_f] in her midtwenties, I’ve never felt like it was too kiddish. Maybe that’s because it wasn’t nearly as popular when I was born so people didn’t picture a bunch of little girls amidst a class of Aidens and Avas 
But regardless, I’d suggest [name_u]Ivy[/name_u], [name_f]Camilla[/name_f], or [name_f]Lelia[/name_f]

That’s a fair point! I do think it’s because of the prevalence in younger age groups at the moment that is influencing my perception

Thank you! I love love [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] and [name_f]Belle[/name_f], [name_f]Elena[/name_f], [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]. [name_f]Do[/name_f] you think [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] would become [name_f]Imo[/name_f]?
Not necessarily. [name_f]Immy[/name_f], Im, [name_f]Gen[/name_f], [name_f]Genna[/name_f], etc would be more intuitive to me. And if you started with a nickname right away then it would be more likely others would use it. [name_f]Imo[/name_f] is kind of cute, though!
I’m glad there are some options here that you like!

I really like [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] as a whole, and nicknames for it don’t really appeal to me (don’t mind [name_f]Genny[/name_f], but nothing beats the full Imogen!)
[name_f]Lily[/name_f] is gorgeous and I think suits any age. I think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is an enduring classic that has been always been popular therefore you’ll find a stream of Lily’s of many different ages. I do not find the name juvenile. I think ways you could make [name_f]Lily[/name_f] more ‘substantial’ is by using a [name_f]Lily[/name_f] alternative like [name_u]Lilian[/name_u], [name_f]Liliwen[/name_f], [name_f]Liliosa[/name_f], [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] or my favourite [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. I think [name_u]Lilian[/name_u] could definitely be your style.
You’ve had lots of lovely suggestions so count any repeats as me being in agreement with the berries

So many babies called [name_f]Lily[/name_f] or [name_f]Lillie[/name_f] I’ve come across. It’s so sweet and really cute on older ladies I’ve met too. Also heard the nickname [name_f]Lil[/name_f] also which is cute. Could possibly use [name_f]Eliza[/name_f], [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], [name_f]Leona[/name_f], [name_f]Lyla[/name_f], [name_f]Mia[/name_f].

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] / [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]
[name_f]Lola[/name_f]
[name_f]Layla[/name_f] / Any other spelling
I think [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is a very mature name, I always think o the actress [name_f]Lily[/name_f] [name_m]Tomlin[/name_m] when I hear the name.

[name_f]My[/name_f] first thought was [name_u]Ruby[/name_u]. Surprised that it hasn’t been mentioned in this thread yet! [name_f]Iris[/name_f] also comes to mind.
