[Opinions] Lily or Lilly?
Replies
I suppose it depends on which side of the pond you are on. In the UK, it's my understanding that Lilian is the default spelling while in the US, the name is usually spelled Lillian so I can see where Lilly comes from.
Personally, I prefer Lily. After all, the flower only has one l. I just find the other way strange looking. In addition, other countries have variants of the name and they only use one l (Liliane, Liliana). Also, Lily after the flower looks less like a nn than Lilly which just looks short for Lillian.

Lilly/Lily is such a pretty name and I like both spellings. But I prefer it as Lily because I'm pretty sure that's how people spell it when they are talking about a flower.
I prefer Lily, because as others have mentioned, it's how the flower is spelt:)
The spelling Lily is not new, actually according to the SSA its the more common spelling. Generally the spelling Lilly is used as a NN for Lillian and Lily is a given name. Personally I prefer Lily because I don't like when words have their spellings changed for the sake of making it "look more like a name". Still sounds the same when you say it. :/
Agree.
...I've met plenty? Don't know what you're talking about...
