[Opinions] Leah, Anna or Lilia?
Which of these do you like better? Do you find Lilia hard to say?Lilia has grown on me lately. I love Lydia but it's Dh's aunt’s name so I feel a little funny using it considering they are not very close. As usual, we don't care about popularity at all, so please vote based on the name and not the popularity.Thanks in advance :)It's a GIRL! Our Princess is due July 27, 2005!

I think Leah would age well. Anna is rather plain. Lilia sounds cute but more like a little girl.

I love all three, they're beautiful.
I think that I like Lilia the best, and I don't find it hard pronounce, although it might be hard for a young child to say it.

I love Lilia and Lydia. Anna is nice, but I prefer Hannah. Leah is nice too, but I prefer Lea. Oh, and I pron. leh-ah, "eh" like in pet, men...
To me Lilia is lil-yah / leel-yah. I think it's gorgeous, but I wouldn't hesitate to use the aunt's name even if you're not close. :)

No, I don't find Lilia hard to say at all! In fact, it rolls off the tounge very nicely. I really like all the names. Why did you pick three great names? It would be much easier if your list was something along the lines of Makenzie, Madison or Anna. :) Just kidding. I think my favorite is the old classic Anna. Lilia is very nice, but I prefer it as a nickname for Lillian/Lilian or Liliana. Leah is very pretty too.

Lilia is my favorite, followed by Anna, then Leah. Really, though, I like them all. I understand what you mean about Lydia, and I agree. I also love Lilias.

My favourite is Lilia, followed (not that closely) by Anna. It's not that I dislike Leah - it's nice for someone else's child too :-)_____________________________________________________________________"[David Gest] looks like he's had a lot of plastic surgery done, but not by a plastic surgeon."Elinor

I like Anna and Lydia, and I don't see the problem in using Lydia, even if you or your husband aren't close to the Aunt. Nothing and no one should stop you from using a name. If Lydia is in the running, then I'd choose that. If not, then I choose Anna.

love Anna and Leah.....can't go wrong w/ either one.

I prefer Lilia. Leah is lovely too, but I much prefer the spelling Lia. I think Anna is boring, a good classic name, but so boring to me...sorry! Also, you still could use the nn Lia with Lilia.
Isabel and Lilia would make a very sweet sib set.

Lilia is very nice, perhaps would age better than Lily. I find it quite easy to pronounce, but note that I'm not a native speaker of English :-)I also like Linnea, WDYT of it?

Congrats. Lilia is unusual and easy to say. She also won't be Lilia or Lydia #such and such or to as those named Caitlin for instance that referred to by numbers or the first letter of their last names b/c of the vast amount of them.
