Who has a Lily or knows one?

Summerbaby · January 2013

Ok I love the name Lily!!! so does my husband but I am so afraid to pick a popular name!! We don't know any Lily's but I have heard the name several times! Help!!

nlscroggins · January 2013

my niece is Lily Katherine and my DH's best friend has a Lily Grace. it's a really popular name where i live!

Zimger · January 2013

It's my nieces name

old_time_girl · January 2013

It's very poplar where we live. We have cousins whose daughter is Lily.

MAdams728 · January 2013

My little girl is Lily. She is being named for my grandmother, so I'm not concerned about popularity.

I do see the name quite a bit on this message board, but I honestly dont know any Lily's in person except for my grandmother.....so perhaps it's regional. I know a couple of little Lyla's, though.

ShoeFanatic614 · January 2013

I'm in the south and know zero Lily's. Lillian (nn Lily) is my current fav girl name for this LO.

Mom2katiec · January 2013

We are having a Lily. But I only know of 2 or 3 little girls with that name across 2 states. Not any more popular than other names we were considering.

brooksidebride · January 2013

My cousin just named her DD Lily. (But that's the only one I know right now, in my personal life.) Actually, as I started this reply I just remembered: She gave her the name Lillian but never intends to call her Lillian. She's known as Lily. And I've never heard her referred to as Lillian. I think it's pretty popular, but I think it's both very pretty and very cute and popularity wouldn't bother me on this one.

My daughter is Lily O'Brien and other then one other adult named Lily (My husband's cousin and name inspiration) we don't know any other Lily's - surprisingly. We live in a major city and thought she'd be 1 of 5 Lily's on the playground or in daycare but currently she is the only one.

We were also worried about popularity but decided to go with it since we both loved the name and my husband has always wanted to name his first daughter Lily.

Mochadoodle · January 2013

I'm not pregnant yet, but DH and I are considering the name Lily. It's so lovely!

It is quite popular tho.

Liz4444 · January 2013

I know about 20, all under the age of 3.

sweetpea2003 · January 2013

I know two little girls with the name Lily. What is Liliana and the other is just Lily. Both are under the age of 3.

firsttimeauntie · January 2013

One of my mum's friend's became a grandmother to a Lily in december. I also know one Olivia who goes by Lily (20yo)

erb82 · January 2013

I know 4 under the age of 5, plus a handful that are older (but all younger than high school).

Even if there aren't any in your circle, there are a lot of little Lilys running around and your Lily is eventually going to be in the bigger world and find that her name is very, very common. It's a beautiful name and you should use it if you love it, but I think sometimes people convince themselves that a name's not really popular just because they haven't run across it much.

starshineamator · January 2013

It is popular but not top-5 popular. I hear it a lot on here too but don't know anybody in real life with the name. If you love it and your H loves it too, I'd say you should go for it!

kcox123 · January 2013

There are 3 Lily's (Lillian, Lilly) at our small daycare center. I love the name though.

oops34 · January 2013

I know too many to count. Sorry, but it's very popular, at least in the Midwest.

jennyshawn0808 · January 2013

I know 2. A friend's daughter is Lilyanna & my cousin's daughter is Lillian. Both go by Lily.

CutieBean79 · January 2013

My best friend has a one month old Lily. If you love it, don't let popularity stop you from using it.

MoreThanABride · January 2013

I know a couple Lilys

mrshudson618 · January 2013

I only know two- a friend of a friend who is in her early 20s and a friends daughter who is about 4.

I love it too, and while it might be a little more popular than a few years ago, I don't think that it is too much

That.Just.Happened · January 2013

I know one that is my age, and in my daughter's school there is one in the 4yo class. I have about fifty'leven friends with kids and no one has used it yet.

ChristyML · January 2013

I know at least two. One is 2 years old, the other is about 7 or 8. I think in my area it was more popular a few years ago.

==N== · January 2013

I know 5, the youngest is 1 and the oldest about 10.

snowybride08 · January 2013

The only Lily I know is my age. I love the name! It's really pretty.

ToBeMrsT · January 2013

I know two toddlers named Lily.

LadyXaverian · January 2013

I know 4 little girls all age 2 or under named Lily.

kellmo · January 2013

I only know 1 Lily. I think it's a great name. I say go for it!!

pettycrocker · January 2013

My best friend just named her LO Liliana (born a few weeks ago) everyone calls her Lily for short.

jallascalla · January 2013

I know six Lilly's under the age 6. Two, yes two, are in my DD's class and one in my DS's class. Two friends from college named their daughter this and a neighbor on our block. It is crazy popular.

meg07bride · January 2013

My 3 year old is Lily. She has never had another one in any of her daycare classes. She has been in daycare since she was 3 months old. We dont know any other Lilys personally, but we have run into a few others in public (zoo, disney world). I do know a woman who is in her mid 50's named lillian though. Here's a funny story- when i was pg with my lily, i loved the name Isla. My husband vetoed it. I was sort of crushed. We now know 3 Islas - including one in her daycare class.

swimiz500 · January 2013

It is very popular here too. One of my close friends has a Lily, and I know of several others too.

caffrin · January 2013

I know a couple of Lily's.

CeCe8579 · January 2013

My neice is Lilly Ann! I love the name and wouldn't let the popularity deter you from using it!

bumpuser260585 · January 2013

I know one Lily, she is 5 and adorable.

megandchase · January 2013

I know 2 both born in the last 2 years I think it's super popular

JLGY · January 2013

I know a 3 year old Lily and a newborn Lily (Lillian).

LilyLove29 · January 2013

I can think of 3 under the age of 2. One of them is a Lilyana, which I think is sweet, but I know that's becoming popular too. Personally, I don't care about popularity or not. I grew up Kathy in a class full of Katie's and always felt a little silly correcting teachers who wanted to call me Katie. I wouldn't have minded a name more common for my age group.

blondbomber23 · January 2013

I was just coming to the baby name board to see how much discussion there was on this name. I'm 31 weeks pregnant and it's the only name we're considering at this point, although I'm torn because of the popularity.

The only Lily I know is my BFF's dog, lol. This is another reason that I'm hesitant

My older daughter is named Alexis (though she goes my Lexi) and I had the same issues with her name. She's 2.5 and we have only run into one other Lexi (which was at a park once).

GeeksWithSqueaks · January 2013

I know 12 Lily's all 6 and under :S I think it is a very popular name at the moment.

guilletskichuk · January 2013

I know 3 that are 3 years old and under. That's enough to deter me from using it.
