Lily by itself is nice when paired with a good mn. I'm partial to Lillian b/c my dd's name is Lillian Wynter. She is Lily for short b/c I hate Lilly with 2 Ls. Good Luck!

I hate to say it, but I agree with your BF: stripper name comes to mind with Illusion! Also, an "illusion" is something FALSE - something that looks good at first but turns out to be nothing good, at all. I'm not trying to be mean when I say this, but I truly think that it would be mean to name a baby Illusion, given the word's meaning and connotations.

If you don't like Lily, maybe Elizabeth? Lily is used as a NN for that. Or perhaps: Lillemor, Lilias, Delilah, Lilwen, Lilya, Lila, Lilah?
