[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] because [name_f]Lillia[/name_f] isn’t a legit spelling of the name (my favorites are [name_f]Liliya[/name_f] and [name_f]Lilya[/name_f]). I pronounce it closer to lil-ee-uh or lil-yuh.

I prefer [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], it looks better written down to me.

Gah. I was very on the fancy and voted [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], but on reflection I prefer [name_f]Lillia[/name_f]. I also prefer [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] to [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. Seems more like a name than a flower if that makes sense? I know others will disagree as [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is the correct spelling.

Heh. I prefer [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] to [name_f]Lily[/name_f] but [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] to [name_f]Lillia[/name_f]. Weird how that works.

I prefer [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]. I also prefer [name_f]Lily[/name_f] over [name_f]Lilly[/name_f], and [name_f]Liliana[/name_f] to [name_f]Lilliana[/name_f]. But I prefer [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] over [name_f]Lilian[/name_f].

[name_f]Lilia[/name_f] for me. For the same reason I don’t like [name_f]Lilly[/name_f] anywhere near as much as [name_f]Lily[/name_f], haha. It just seems more streamlined and sweet, and the grammar/spelling/English-lover in me goes batty at the idea of spelling “lily” as “[name_f]Lilly[/name_f]”. Same with [name_f]Lilia[/name_f]/[name_f]Lillia[/name_f], haha. I do love the Polish spelling, Lilija, though, too. To throw a total crazy wrench into the mix.
