Lilibet

I personally love this name, it feels very feminine and timeless, however everytime i mention it to anyone they don’t like it and think it’s odd. Let me know your opinion 😊

my goodness you’re really desperate to reply to everything i say😂 Yes i didn’t realise because- i doubt you’re british yourself- not every brit is obsessed with royals. In fact hardly any really follow what they do

I hate the royal family and avoid them like the plague, and I'm British, and I knew the association. I think a majority of British people millennial age and above will know. If that doesn't bother you, fair enough, but it's something to consider.

I do love the name Lilly, but feel it’s really common. I would be open to Lillia but still feel that people would hate it

I love Lilia. I detest Lilibet.

Well clearly it doesn’t bother you that everyone hates Lillibet so…why would it matter with any other name?

Ps no one hates Lillia. As far as I know, it’s not a monarch’s nickname or a celebrity’s small child

Lillian? Lillith? Leilani? Lorelei? Letitia? There are so many lovely options that could give you the nn Lily.  Alternatively,  you could just use Lily itself? Even 'common'names these days aren't as all-dominating as those of previous decades. Much more diversity of girls names these days. And Lily is such a pretty, soft name.

Lillia is cute and it’s not a crazy name for people to hate

Lillia is gorgeous (or Lila or Lyla or Lilabeth for that matter.)

Why do you think people would hate Lillia?
