I would choose Lilia because it's more reminiscent of the flower.

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.

This is my nieces name. She was born in Germany though so they spelled it Lilje.

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.

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.
