I love this name but I think it is very popular. We have a Collin and Gavin. I kind of wanting to keep the "in" sound. So I am leaning toward Owen (boy) But what do you think about the name Brinn (for a girl)?? Does Brinn LiliAnn sound funny???

I really wanted to use LiliAnn (for a middle name after Lili (MIL) and JoAnn (my mom) I even like it for a first name but wouldn't it be weird since MIL is Lili????

So: Brooke LiliAnn, Brynn LiliAnn or LiliAnn Grace of Brynn Grace (hmmm what DOES Brynn go with???)



Just obsessing don't mind me

I like Brooke a lot and I don't think it is too popular right now. If anything, its shootoff names like "Brooklyn" or "Brooklynn" are more popular...I personally prefer the more classic "Brooke" though!!!

I do like Brooke with brothers Collin & Gavin. But I love the idea of Brynn (this spelling) instead. It's fresh and pretty. I also like Brinsley NN Brynn.

I have to admit that I don't care much for the flow of MN LiliAnn with FN Brooke or Brynn. If you like LiliAnn as a FN (or MN) then I think you should just go ahead and use it, though!

Here are some possible combos that I really like;

Brynn Lili

Lili Brynn

Brinsley Joann

Brinsley Joanna

Joanna Brynn

Joanna Lili Brooke

LiliAnn Brooke

I agree that Brooke is not too popular at all. It's beautiful. As for the MN, how about Lillian? A variation of LilliAnn, but without the confusing mix of caps and lower case, and more traditional, not off-beat, which is what is really WAY TOO trendy now. The child has to live with the name forever. Or at least until they are old enough to legally change it themselves...

Lillian Grace sounds very feminine and pretty.

I agree. I too prefer Lillian Grace. However, if you wanted to keep the "lilly-ann" pronunciation, then I'd definitely go with Lily-Anne Grace. I think that's beautiful, and the spelling is less confusing. (And I'm usually not one to go for hyphenated FNs, so I really do like this combo!)

I like Brooke. I would use it with MN LiliAnn, although I would consider changing the spelling. Lillianne? Your mothers will still know they're being honored. Also I would consider Lillian as an alternative. It's a nice combo. Brooke Lillian is a nice name too. I definitely wouldn't go with Brynn and MN LiliAnn, they sound too similar.

I would say it's okay not to go with the -n ending, since your other two are boys and this one is a girl KWIM?

Good Luck!

I think Brooke is beautiful and not too popular at all! I very rarely hear it and never on little babies or children. Lovely choice!

Our little girl's name is Brooklyn and we call her Brook or Brookie a lot. So I of course love the name Brooke. I think it sounds cute with Liliann too! :)

I think Brynn (this spelling) is a beautiful name, but of your combos, my favorite is Brooke LiliAnn.

love youre humor, sounds like what i'd say. :)

i like LiliAnn!

keep in mind Owen getting really popular..it may peek then blend in, but alot of Owen's (Great name tho!)

Brinn is wonderful name Brinn LiliAnn sounds lovely to me.

for similarity, and still in honor, could consider, Brinn Lyla Grace (Ann meaning Grace. Lyla simliar to Lili.. both slightly varied)

but to me, Brinn LiliAnn is delightful! and meaningful!
