William & Lillian

[Anonymous]

I think imagine yelling them across a park and they're going to sound a bit too similar.

I think they’re beautiful names but too similar.

Personally I think they sound too close. It sounds like a tongue twister when you say them together.

We have a Lillian that goes by Lillie. We like William for baby #2. I imagine he’d mostly be called William but maybe Will. We’d avoid Willie.

Are these too similar? Both are very important family names.

Children like to rhyme Lillie and Willie.

I’ll be the contrarian. I think they’re both nice names and if I met a family with kids named Will and Lillian I wouldn’t think twice. It’s not like naming your kids Dolly and Holly.

In addition to encouraging people to call them Lillie and Willie, they will also get Lil and Will.

I also just think visually, it's so many "L"s. Are there any Ls in your last name? If so, it's just overkill.

Willy and Lilly is overkilly.

I would call them Lilly and Willy Nilly

Lillie and Liam is also pretty cutesy but I kinda like it. I'd avoid William/Will. I also don't like Lillie and Oliver together - hard to say.
