*sigh* This process has been on-going since I found out I was pregnant. We both want Lily as our baby's first name but we CANNOT agree on a middle name! I actually love Liliana but it doesn't work well with our last name, Schoolfield. It actually makes a sentence when said aloud and I just can't do that to our child! LOL



Okay, so here are the criteria.
It can't start with an "ee" sound.
It can't end with an "ee" sound, nor an "s" sound.
It can't contain any "l" sounds.
It can't be too cumbersome (too long or a mouthful to pronounce).
The most important thing is that it MUST BE UNIQUE, not trendy! We love Lily very much but we know it's trendy, so we need a very unique/unusual non-trendy middle name (and not something that's trendy, just horrendously spelled, either).

Am I dreaming or can I find a nice name? :/
We've run across a few that were nice enough but none really struck me as "the one." I like middle names that start with a "K" but I haven't found one we both love.

We're on a roll with Greek names right now. None of these really made me fall in love with them, though.

Lily Vesna Schoolfield
Lily Minerva Schoolfield
Lily Kassia Schoolfield
Lily Athena Schoolfield
Lily Kaia Schoolfield
Lily Kara Schoolfield
Lily Adara Schoolfield
Lily Kyra Schoolfield



Okay, any suggestions? Any help is very much appreciated! :) The baby is due to make an arrival in 5 weeks or less and I'm anxious that we haven't settled on a name (or even a list of 5 or so!).

Liliana is probably my favorite name- I would have cried too if I couldn't use it! I generally pronounce it lil-ee-ahn-ah which wouldn't have the same "Lily on a school field" problem, but yeah...anyway, onto middle names for Lily (which is equally beautiful, and when I have a daughter named Liliana I will call her Lily as well).

Lily Athena is probably my favorite from your list. I also like Lily Sophia (a suggestion I wanted to make before I saw it already was :D) and Lily Keziah.

Liliana is my neice's name, and we pronounce it like you do - lily-anna, basically. I absolutely adore her name. :)
