Love it. I probably would have used it but hubby vetoed it.

Love, love, LOVE it. It's been my favourite name for almost half my life. I do spell it Lilly though.

Love it... as a shortened version of Lillian (or another name). It bothers me when people have nicknames as their name.

Well, seeing as it's my daughter's name, I kind of love it. :) Her middle name is Calla. Yes, after the flower.

I just wish it hadn't become so popular! (My daughter is 13 now, and it kind of bugs her. But what can you do if so many people have such fabulous taste in names?) ;)

I like it; used to be one of my favorites.
(I like it as it's own name, btw- I hate the name Lillian/Lilith.)

I like it a lot. Lily May/Lily Mae is a family namesake on my mother's side.

I think it's lovely but it's become pretty popular. I definitely expect it to crack the top ten in a few years. However, I don't think it's a horrible popular name to have. I'd rather my daughter be one of three Lilys she knows than one of three Addisons.

So you think Lily is only a nickname? I don't know; that seems to me like saying Rose is only a nickname of Roseanne.

I don't love it but Lillian is a family name on my husband's side so I will tolerate it for his sake!

I like the way it looks, and it has delicate and feminine connotations, but I just don't like the way it sounds out loud. It feels kinda awkward to say. Maybe that's just me.

it's boring to me like many short names, especially because of the repeated syllable. I also get the feeling it's overused.
On the pros side, it has a nice meaning.

I just don't understand the appeal of Addison, honestly.

I love it! It's on my top 10. One of my favorite combos is Lily Bianca.

it's just a popular sound, I guess. Some people really like it, but I'm not a fan, either.

This. It's a nickname for Lillian/Liliana, to me.

I know this wasn't directed at me, but I do feel as you said. Rose isn't a full name to me either, and should be a nickname for something.

Lily... isn't a nickname. I mean, it can be, but it's also a name in its own right, just like Rose or Violet.

I completely hate it. It is definitely one of my least favourite names.

i really loved it up until very recently. i met a teenage girl named lily and it just didnt work. not on her specifically, but i realized i just didnt think it really worked on anyone over the age of like 10...

its off my list now, but i still think its beautiful.

I used to be really find of it and then I heard it all. the. time. so, I got kinda sick of it. A nice name, but I'm bored of it, personally...

Agreed, and ugh, on Addison... a former classmate of mine had a son and named him Addison... and I was like... poor boy...

I actually knew two boys named Addison in school.

It's the name my husband and I can agree on so we're going for it.

Rose is a nickname in my head, Violet on the other hand holds its own... What's the longer name for Violet?
