Girl Names...no L's

Lilleybug

Our last name is Lilley. There are a lot of names I like, but then put with our last name makes for too many L's. Or there are names such as Scarlet, but Scarlet Lilley sounds like the Scarlet Letter to me (or maybe I am just crazy) and names like Emma sound funny as Emma Lilley. I'd also like to avoid names that end with the "e" sound.

On my list so far (not sure I have a style) we were told we were team blue so we are really back to the drawing board here:

Olivia (Although Olivia Lilley may be too many L's)

Isabel (Again Isabel Lilley has a lot of L's)

Payton

Addison

Ava

Reese (maybe more of a middle name) 

Summer (liked it until I put it with our last name Summer Lilley.....)

and poor DH loves the name Taylor but I said it is too close too our son Ty (Tyler). 

Ideas? Suggestions?

I like Reese!!!

Olivia, Isabel and Ava are beautiful names, but all too popular for my liking. Not a fan of Payton and Addison. Summer is OK, but maybe more as a MN. Tyler and Taylor would be ridiculous. I'd go with Reese Olivia Lilley. Pretty! I happen to like one syllable names and it sounds nice with your LN.

My last name is similar to yours, so I know where you are coming from.

Some of my favorite girl names are Juliet, Miriam, Audrey, and Catherine.

For boys, I like Benjamin, Joshua, and Timothy.

ETA: Whoops! I forgot that you already know that you're having a girl.

I like Ava Lilley, but Ava is really popular right now, so if that's a concern I'd steer clear. I actually do like Addison, and Reese would work with a very feminine mn. A few more suggestions:

 Anna Lilley

 Bianca Lilley

 Charlotte Lilley

 Erin Lilley

 Meredith Lilley

Paige Lilley

 Teagan Lilley

Just to clarify you were originally told boy and now you find out that its a girl?

I don't like Payton or Peyton on girls and I hate how you really have to pronounce the "T".  Addison will probably not be favored on this board, plus she may get NN Addy and with your LN thats another E sound at the end.

Honestly, your LN does make it a little hard!  I agree I don't like girl names ending in an "E" sound with your LN.

Here's ones I considered:

Josephine, Andrea, Brenna, Brianna, Audrina, Katherine (but again NN Katie with Lilley?)

I think your LN can "handle" a longer FN so I think I prefer those with 3 syllables.

I am thinking a longer first name too. Who knew Lilley would be such a hard LN to find a FN for! Yes, we were originally told boy and then surprise he is actually a she so back to the drawing board with names!

Completely agree.  Reese is my favorite out of your list!
