Lilia or Lillia? I can't decide which spelling I like better, but I definitely LOVE this name. I have finally found my name for a girl! Funny, the only reason I know of this name is because I read the restaurant review on nytimes for the new restaurant Lilia in Brooklyn...

Lilia's a nice name although I perfer the spelling Lilje ( the German spelling ) It will most likely cause lots of confusion in the U.S.

I hope to name my future princess Lilia Magdalene or Lilia Madeleine :-)

Nice soft sounding name, but I personally prefer Lila or Lilian. Lilia sounds made up in my opinion.

My tween niece is Lilia. I haven't heard the name used except for her. She generally goes by Lil.

This name is stunning. I like the Lilija spelling, it has more of a subtle Slavic twist.

My absolute favorite girl name! A mixture of my favorite nickname "Lily" and my great grandma's name "Lydia". This name can be cute on a little girl or professional for an adult woman.

This name is so pretty! I love it.

I like the sound of this a lot better than lily. Its a very pretty name and I can picture an adult wearing it.
Summerbaby2014 Says:
Seriously considering this name. Like the similar sound to Lydia and Livia. Think this has a fresher sound than Lily, but has the option of using Lily as nn, although I prefer the nn Lia.
