We liked the name Lily Grace but for ridiculous reasons we "aren't allowed" to use Grace.

I say be happy you "can't" use Grace. I am soooo tired of hearing Grace as a mn. Especially with the popular Lily, I would do something less common.


Lily Simone gets my vote- Simone is gorgeous and certainly not tired. I would actually argue that Lily, in all its popularity, brings the name down. It is skyrocketing, and Simone seems to balance it.

Elise and Eloise have too much of the E vowel sound and the L like in Lily, I wouldn't use those with Lily


I think Nicole is a little off style for Lily - Madeleine works OK - I'd spell it Madalyn - the L in there isn't so noticeable as the L in Elise or Eloise - yes, I think Lily Madalyn works OK


how about Lily Catherine

why aren't you allowed to use Grace? It's a beautiful name. Someone in your family with it or something?

long story, its already been used and it's too much drama to use again for the other side.. so id rather just not have the argument about it.

Lily Margot
Lily Katrin
Lily Angeline
Lily Geneva
Lily Serena
Lily Adelaide
Lily Cristabel


Good luck!

i think Lily Simone would be a great choice! Grace is way too popular as a mn anyway.
