My friend just found out she's having a girl. A girl she plans on naming

Lilyth Claire

I love Lilith. I love Claire. I get hung up on that stupid y, and I usually don't mind y substitutions

I normally don't like y substitutes but this one I kind of like. It reminds me of Blythe and I like that name..
I understand not liking the y though. Claire is cute too.

I agree, with the y in there I want to say it lil-EETH

[feisty-fitz.livejournal.com]

Me, too.

i hate that y in there. it just...makes the name uncomfortable to look at.

Sounds like Lilith Fair.

[mystickiwi.livejournal.com]

I don't know anything about Lilith Fair (at all...) but the mom's middle name is Claire. I don't know if she made the connection and liked it or just wanted to use her middle name and didn't know/didn't care

I love Lilith but the Y is not nice. It just looks...wrong.
Also, I agree that it sounds like Lilith Fair.

I rather dislike that 'y' there. It makes the whole name look wrong, to me. Otherwise, Lilith Claire is a lovely name.

Yeah usually i like Y's (Stone me if you want)


But it just doesn't look right.... I guess you can use Lily as a nickname for it tho :P

It really makes me want to say lily-ith and not lilith at all.

[dustkitty.livejournal.com]

It makes me want to give it more of an -eeth sound than -ith. Lilith Claire is nice, though.

Yeah, I said that outloud to myself and thought "Lilith Fair"... not exactly what I would want to picture if that was my daughter.

i am, more often than not, vehemently opposed to the random sticking of the letter y in perfectly good names. its just irritating. in this case though, in my opinion, because lily is a name on its own (unlike a name like, say, madyson or something), it actually alters the pronunciation of the name.

lilith claire is very nice though.
