Help[Opinions] Lilifee...

Lillyfee

Usable as a name (for a girl)?
When living in Berlin, this was an uber popular little fairy character for girls. Movies, dolls, stickers, etc.
But, it's kind've cute as a name IRL, no?
With all the Lilibeth, Lilianne, and Lili-May names out there, I thought it might be a nice alternative (outside of Germany).

I have to admit, I actually like the sound of it, though the look is kind of throwing me. Maybe if it were a first/middle name combo or double name, like Lila Fi, or even Lila Faye (though that takes away the "fee" sound that I'm liking about this). I dunno; it could work, but I'd have to spend some time tweaking and fanangling before I'm completely on board with it.

It's very inconsistent and childish. I don't think it's usable.

I know this isn't the way it would be pronounced, but my brain wants to turn it into a verb. "I'm going to lillify you".

I tried to think of a reason to add this verb to my mental lexicon, but came up blank.
I'll be storing Lillify for later though.

I feel like it's something my four-year-old would say as he aggressively shoves a fistful of flowers (specifically lilies) at me: "Here Mom, you've been lillified. Muhahahaha"

I don't know. It's not my forte, but I'm very picky about the application of the name Lily. I really only like Lily spelled as Lily (no double Ls). I also really like the name Lilian and the variations with that. I'm not into names like Lilibeth or Lilimae because they sound a little to country-ish to me, like Ellie-Beth or Ellie-Mae.
Lilifee though is cute. I'm not sure it's great as a first name, but I'm not an authority on names by any means. If you feel a strong attachment to it and you end up using it, I'm sure the girl you give it to will be meant to rock it.
Personally, I think it makes for a fun middle name or a cute family nickname. :D I hope that helps. I'm sorry I couldn't be more on board with this one.

I only like Lily and Lillian really, as they seem legit.
However, Lilibeth is super popular in the Philippines, so sometimes I forget it is a creation.
Lillifee is pretty adorable for what it is, a character. I think it technically could work in the UK/USA, but it would raise a few eyebrows (and garner a few "aww"s).

Sounds like the name of a small, spoiled poodle.
Use it as a nickname - sure. But as a full name? No way.
Lily Fiona would be a nice way to get to "Lilifee".

That is a decent idea. Lily Fiona nn Lilifee. I won't do it, but I might suggest it to someone. ;)

I think it's just a tad too precious.

It's too cute for life. Little Fifi, is what it sounds like.
But it is pretty namey. Lillephe, maybe? Looks less childish and more intriguing. Still probably a cat-name, though.

Lillephe looks pretty, but I would assume it was a creative version of Lillith if I saw it.
Hah, I used to call my sister (Felicia) Lil' Fifi on a leash. She didn't appreciate it. Thank God I grew up.
btw - I'll be using the pharse "too cute for life", thank you very much.

I could see Lilifée ("lee-lee-FAY") as a name, but not Lilifee. It took me a few tries to even read it (I kept thinking it was "Lilfiee", something very brand namey.) I'd probably go with Lily-Fae or Lily Fay. It's a neat idea, and a pretty sound, but it's lacking something.

It sounds like baby-talk. And in Germany, I can't help but think it would be seen as the same as an American parent naming their kid Strawberry Shortcake or La La Loopsy.
1
It for sure would be seen that way in Germany.
Though, did you hear that the name Strawberry is up and coming? (Not sure it's reliable, but it was a discussion on The View, which my mom watches daily).
Lala would be stretching it, though some parent out there is probably contemplating it right now. Sigh.

I can see it on a cute little fairy character, sure. But in real life? No way! Totally no way!!
It's waay to frilly and totally childish. It's gonna be seriously awkward once the girl is past five years old. Can you imagine being 18 and having to admit your name is Lilifee??
It would make a cute nickname if you like that kind of thing.
Use Lily Fiona or something and have Lilyfee as her baby nickname. But as a full given name I think it'd be awful >_

I completely agree.

I agree with you 100%. :)

Hmm Lilifee is kind of cute. It could be a cute nn for a girl named Lilian Fiona, which is actually a kind of cool combo.
1
Lillian Fiona IS kinda cool. If Lillian weren't so popular, I would write this down.
As it is, I am sure I will be poffering it to some niave parents-to-be. I will likely even suggest Lilifee and a nickname.
