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 😊

Everyone will think it’s a tribute to the late Queen, but an overstep as it was a private name for a woman without much privacy.
No one else uses that name

Well, Prince Harry did. But I don't think other people should

Why shouldn’t people use the name? Who cares if it was the late Queen of England’s nickname? It’s pretty and the OP should use it if they love it

Agreed. One person doesn’t get dibs on a name.

I would never use it because I’m Irish and and don’t want to name my children after British royalty, but I don’t think there’s anything wrong with using it.
