Lillimaer. I can only guess this would be pronounced "Lily-mare" It's what my friend wanted to name his first child if it was a girl. Fortunately for the child, they had a boy (who they named Cayden, which is trendy and I don't really like it... but yeah)

I think Lillimaer would make a great name for a fantasy book character, but not for a real person who has to go through real life.

Also, what do you think of spelling Gwendolyn as Gwendolynne? I gave the latter name to a sim once, because I like to give them ridiculous and kr8tvye names. I happen to like that spelling (and the name) a lot, I think it adds an extra touch of... something, but it's also extra letters that aren't needed. If I ever name a child this (which is likely to happen someday at the moment) I'd probably go with the first spelling, just because it's easier and to save the kid some grief.

I only like it spelled Gwendolen

Lillimaer: no wonder it rhymes with night-mare.

Gwendolyn is a totally acceptable name, although I think I prefer Guendaline.

Isn't Lillimaer Scandinavian or something? Just a thought, since I saw this little girl in a magazine once, she was called Lillemor, and I believe her mother was Norwegian.

I've never heard it, so I thought "eh, maybe its ethnic" I googled it and absolutely nothing came up, which makes me think its fake, but it could be a different spelling

The thing about Gwendolyn is, it's a long name to begin, why make it longer?

I mean, I like long names (8+ letters), but more than ten letters is probably too long.

I don't know, They didn't ask my opinion in naming the kid, and he's already born, named, and almost a year old, so its not really my place to say "hey your kids name is trendy!"

i really hate the spell of gwendolyn. it just looks really weird and the extra n and e are totally unnecessary.
