I love the name Lillian. Unfortunately with a last name McMillian it won't work for our baby!! LOL

What about...

Lillian Clare
Lillian Paige
Lillian Grace

What family names do you have to work with?

What is Lauren's middle name?

I always find family mn's are best, are there any you can use?

Just want to know if Lillian has personal meaning to you? If not, I don't think I would use it for 2 reasons. 1) It is really popular- it is going to be the next BIG popular name and she will likely have to be Lily B. (or whatever initial) in her school classes. 2) It is too similar to Lauren. Not only do they start with the same letter, but they both end in an -n, which makes them seem waaay too matchy.

As usual, I totally disagree with Nikki. I think Lillian is a GREAT name! It is similar to Lauren but if not too close, go for it! Also, because you chose Lauren you are obviously not bothered by other children sharing your child's name.

Middle name...it seems like many names go with Lillian for a middle name. Have you thought about using your maiden name?
