We’ve got it down to two! Would love your thoughts…

[name_f]Lyla[/name_f]/[name_f]Lila[/name_f]

or

[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]

Not sure on middle name, yet. But would love suggestions! Our surname is [name_m]Griffin[/name_m].

I like [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] best of these-- it’s traditional, classic, but not super-popular. Watch out for any mns starting with vowels so that the initials don’t spell something (LIG might be okay, but LOG, LUG, LAG are not great).

[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Beatrice[/name_f] G
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Camille[/name_f] G
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] G
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] G
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f] G
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_u]Meredith[/name_u] G
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] G
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] G
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Thais[/name_f] G
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] G
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Zoe[/name_f] G

These names are close, I’m not sure you should cut them down. I’m all about having a list (2/3 names) going in that when they come you’ll know.

That being said, I prefer [name_f]Lila[/name_f] to [name_f]Lyla[/name_f].

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Aviva[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]

[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Camella[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Felicity[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Roslin[/name_f]

I’d pick [name_f]Lila[/name_f].

[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Audrey[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Sophie[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Eve[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Maeve[/name_f]
[name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Jasmine[/name_f]

I would definitely use the [name_f]Lila[/name_f] spelling, but I don’t know if I could choose between [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. I love them both! To me, [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] seems sweet and classic while [name_f]Lila[/name_f] is more fun and spunky.

6

I prefer [name_f]Lydia[/name_f].

7

I really like them both. But I definitely prefer the [name_f]Lila[/name_f] spelling over [name_f]Lyla[/name_f]

8

I agree with the comment that you should have more than one name when you go to the hospital. I have seen both names mentioned heavily on here, but have heard [name_f]Lila[/name_f] more in real life.

9

I prefer [name_f]Lila[/name_f]. I have never warmed up to [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] for some reason and I dislike [name_f]Lyla[/name_f].

Thanks for all the suggestions! I think it’s interesting that many people consider [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] more “traditional and classic”. I see [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] as the “spunky” option and [name_f]Lila[/name_f] as the “traditional” choice. It’s funny how personal perspective can make one person look at a name one way and another in a completely different light. My grandmother, born in 1924, was [name_f]Lyla[/name_f], so that’s why I consider it the traditional choice AND why I’m considering that spelling (although I actually like ‘[name_f]Lila[/name_f]’ better, as well!).

12

I prefer [name_f]Lila[/name_f]/[name_f]Lyla[/name_f]. It’s a beautiful, sophisticated choice!

13

I prefer [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], but judging from your last post, [name_f]Lila[/name_f] seems more personal to you. Go with whichever name means the most. You can’t wrong with either name. They’re both beautiful. :slight_smile: Sorry, I’m probably not a lot of help. haha :wink:

14

Both are lovely names but I prefer the sweetly vintage [name_f]Lila[/name_f] to [name_f]Lydia[/name_f]. The name [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] makes me think about that irritating and troublesome [name_m]Bennet[/name_m] sister in “Pride and Prejudice” so it’s not the best image I have in my mind. The dilemma for me is this: although I think the softer [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] sounds better, the harsher sounding [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] looks better written out on the page. I think I would ultimately choose the sound of a name before look because in the end we probably say our names aloud more than write it out. You could have sound and look with the [name_f]Lyla[/name_f] [name_m]Griffin[/name_m] option.

15

I like [name_f]Lila[/name_f] [name_f]Jeanette[/name_f] and [name_f]Lydia[/name_f] [name_f]Therese[/name_f]

16

Personally I prefer [name_f]Lydia[/name_f], its sweet, feminine but not frilly, classic but not over used and I think it sounds beautiful with your surname

17

I love [name_f]Lila[/name_f]! The “i” spelling looks more correct to me. I think it’s a beautiful name for any age.
