I voted for Lyla, but prefer the traditional spelling of Lila.

I actually like all of your options (though I prefer the Lily and Lila spellings) but I think Delilah is the most unique option. I know quite a few Lilys and Lillians, and I'm starting to hear Lila pop up more and more. But I don't know any Delilahs. You could still call her Lila or even Lily, but if she winds up in a class with two other Lilys, she could use Delilah and not have to be Lily B. or Lily S. or whatever.


All the options are really nice though. You could always wait until she is born to decide which fits her best.

Lillian and Lilly Rose seem redundent (too flower-heavy ;), and the double Ls always throw me. I also prefer the more traditional spelling for Lila. Lyla reminds me a lot of the masculine name Lyle. I really do love Lila, though, and would have voted for it in a second if not for the Delila option. It's just a personal thing with me, but I really like longer names with potential nn options so the child can choose what name she prefers as she ages. In this case, Delila would give her the option of using the full name or the just-as-great nn Lila, so I'd definitely go with that! Also, Delila is a bit more unique (you don't see it very often at all) and actually flows better with the middle and ln, IMO. So Delila, nn Lila, definitely gets my vote! :)

I love the name Lyla, although I think it looks so much classier spelt Lila or Lilah.

I will take the flower comment into deep consideration. It hadn't even crossed my mind that they were both flowers! ;0)
