Thoughts on Lily

I was just wondering if Lily is one of those names everyone is getting tired of hearing. I think it is so cute and spunky but would hesitate to use it because of popularity. I did a search on it and it seems to be pretty overused. I don't want to pick a name that people think "oh great, another one!!" What are your thoughts?

honestly?

"Oh great, another one!" lol It is a pretty name though. A name that is close to Lily that I like is Lilah (or Lila).

I personally love Lily! I know its popular, but I just love it. Had my 1st DS been a girl, he would have been Lillian Grace nn "Lily". I really like Lila too though. If we ever have a girl, I would consider using both.

Good luck! I think if you love a name, you should use it no matter what!

It's a cute, spunky name that just happens to be way over used. Cute name though!

I do see it a lot on here, although I've yet to meet one in person. I do like the suggestion of Lila though (actually, I think that's quite lovely, and not nearly as overused). ;)

I hear that Lily is overused, although, I have never actually met one. I think it is one of the prettiest names I have ever heard, and if you love it, you should use it. I just found out I am expecting child #3 and Lily would certainly top my list. BUT... I already have an Eleri nn Ellie and I think the two would get confusing for me! LOL!

I too hear of Lily a lot, but have never met one, which says a lot because I used to teach pre school. I really like the name, but I LOVE Lila/Lyla.

I love Lily! I have never personally met a Lily, but there are two new babies named Lily on the teen moms board. I have met a Lilian though she was my good friends mom but she never did the Lily NN. I love this name I say go for it.
