[Opinions] Lillian/Lilly
What do you think of the name Lillian St.Clair (a family name) and calling the little girl Lilly? Do you think is is a name that is too trendy? Will it last her a lifetime?

Sorry, St. Clair is her middle name
I adore the name Lilly. I just think it's so pretty. Trendy? Maybe. But not trendy in a way that makes it not priceless.
Thanks! nt!
I think Lillian St. Clair flows really nicely, and if St. Clair is a family name, so much the better. I personally much prefer Lillie to Lilly; in my mind, Lillie's got literature (or at least Shug Avery) behind it, whereas Lilly has...The Princess Diaries. Eeeyeah.
I really wish Lillie (in any spelling) wasn't so popular, but as a nickname, the popularity shouldn't matter so much.

You might even provide a Heaven for them. We need You for that. Hell we can make for ourselves.

Lillian St Clair sounds wonderful. I prefer it spelt Lilian but actually, in this combo, the two L's look good. Like Array I prefer the spelling Lillie for her nickname. It seems more original - there are waaaay too many Lily's running around nowadays, and Lilly is too close to that.

I really like the name Lillian with the nn Lily (one l only since its the name of the flower) or Lillie since its different enough that it doesn't look mispelled IMHO.
I think its a classical sounding name, thats revitalized but not trendy and will last her a lifetime. As of now, its our favourite girls' name, but we will most likely be sticking to just Lily since I don't feel it really needs a more elaborated first name. If we ever decided to go with a longer first name, we would pick Lillian though.

and what is your favorite boy's name?
Lillian St. Clair is lovely! I find it very distinguished. (sp?) I prefer the spelling Lily, but if she found that to be too nicknamey when she aged, she could always go by Lillian. Lovely!
trendy or no...its lovely and timless imo
My dogs name is Lily. I named her after my friend Lily and the friend was less than pleased.
I think the name sounds very posh. Lillian nickname Lilly is darling. For Lillian, I actually prefer Lilly or Lillie rather than Lily as the nickname because to me, the spelling Lily is a name independent of Lillian. I know, very anal, lol.
I don't think it's trendy, maybe a bit popular, though, but throughout her lifetime, I imagine Lillian will fade in and out of popularity. i wouldn't be overly concerned about it.
Great choice for a name! :)

I prefer Liliana to Lillian/Lilian, but Lily is very pretty for a nickname.
imo, St. Clair is a little...hefty for a middle name. Lilian Claire would be pretty, though.
