Help[Opinions] Lily
WDYT? I know most of you would say its way too over used and popular, but I've never actually met a Lily. So what do you think of the actual name?

I like it a lot, despite popularity, it's very pretty. I also like Lillian and Lilias (possibly nn Lily), but not Liliana.
Bear in mind that you probably don't meet that many little Lilies because you mainly see people your own age, not toddlers. I could be wrong, but it's certainly the case for myself.

I love it. It's feminine and pretty, ages well and I haven't seen or heard a whole lot of Lily's around either!

I like Lily just fine own its own, and also as a nn for any variety of Lili- names. I've only met one Lily (my brother's ex-girfriend), but the stats do show that the name is pretty popular. If you have a deep love for the name or a person you're honoring, I wouldn't let popularity stop you. :o)

I think it's very feminine and pretty. The name is simple enough that it's not too frilly, just charming. I do know several little Lily's however (though I don't think I know any over the age of five) one of whom is my beautiful niece Lillian Ruth (Lilly). I guess I could be a bit biased... but I do like the fact that Lilly is her nickname and thus as it becomes more trendy and common, she has something else to fall back on. (A side note: Lillian is also honoring. I think it might be her great-great-grandmother's name?)

I am a little tired of it right now, but I do like it, it's very pretty and feminine without being too frilly. I only know one Lily, she's actually a Lillian, and she's eighty. :)

All of the Lillies I know (and there are quite a few of them!) are actually Lillians. They all range in age from thirteen years to about eighteen months.
Even though I know it is popular, I like it a lot. Like RoxStar says, it's frilly but not too frilly.

Of the name itself? I like it--it makes me think of the comic genius Lily Tomlin, and that is never a negative. ;)
However, the name is overused, and I have met quite a few little Lilies. So even if you don't know any, it's dollars to donuts your kid will.

Lily, popularity aside, is a sweet name, but I much prefer it as a nn.

I really like Lily - i think its simple and elegant. Ive been thinking and i also cant think of a single person i know called Lily...i dont think it is actually as popular as people think.

I agree that Lily is a lovely name, simple and elegant like you've said.
As for popularity though, there were 9545 Lily/Lilly/Lillies born in the U.S. in 2006, plus 9814 Lillian/Lilliana/Lilian/Lilianas who may use the nn Lily. After adding all that up, I would say it is even more popular than I had orginally believed. (All info found on the SSA website.)
Although I have never met a little Lily myself, it may simbly not be a common name in my area or yours. It is a popular name overall though, which shouldn't stop anyone from enjoying its beauty.
