My husband and I are planning on TTC after our second wedding anniversary this summer and are already discussing names. We love [name_m]David[/name_m] for a boy, but we are still deciding on a girl name. I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] but husband likes it more as a middle name. I think it goes very well with our last name, O’[name_u]Neil[/name_u]. What do you think of the name [name_f]Lilias[/name_f]? Is it better as a first or middle name? What are other names similar to [name_f]Lilias[/name_f]?
Also, what are some middle name ideas? I have a few in mind, but would love more options. I like family or family inspired names, but it’s not absolutely necessary.
Family inspired names that I like:
[name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Beth[/name_f]
[name_f]Wendy[/name_f]
[name_u]Cameron[/name_u]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f]
[name_f]Millie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilie[/name_f]
[name_f]Emilia[/name_f]
Other names that I like:
[name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Isabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Louisa[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_f]Peony[/name_f]
My current favorite is [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]/[name_f]Isabel[/name_f] O’[name_u]Neil[/name_u], but I’m not sure which one I like best. [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] O’[name_u]Neil[/name_u] and [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] O’[name_u]Neil[/name_u] are also wonderful and both family inspired, but maybe not quite right?
Thanks for all of your help!
[name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] is pretty and leads to the nn more commonly used for [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Lilibet[/name_f]. The other names on your list don’t seem to flow as well with [name_f]Lilias[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Beth[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f].
[name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Peony[/name_f] O’[name_u]Neil[/name_u] is my favorite, followed up by [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] O’[name_u]Neil[/name_u]
Other ideas: [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Gwendolen[/name_f] to honor [name_f]Wendy[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Oriana[/name_f], [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Zora[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] Fioralba to honor [name_f]Dawn[/name_f] because the first two mean “dawn” and the last one “flower of the dawn” + [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_u]Dune[/name_u] because [name_u]Dune[/name_u] soudns like [name_f]Dawn[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Annabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f], [name_f]Lilias[/name_f] [name_f]Betsy[/name_f] to honor [name_f]Beth[/name_f]
