Also, I personally know, PERSONALLY, four 1-2 year-olds named Lilly or Lily. It's not just popular, it's at critical mass. It's this generation's Jennifer. Avoid it at all costs!

I have a Lila and it does get pronounced and spelled sometimes in weird ways. I still like it.

Educate yourself. It is also Arabic and Hebrew - so with such a wide origin breadth I do not believe it would be appropriation.

Lucy is most traditional and easiest to spell and pronounce. Go that route.

You have some ideas for what OP should name her now 10-11 year old?

OP should update. What did you name her?!

Lucy is my favorite. I would even go as far as to use Lucia on the birth certificate and Lucy as a nickname.

It’s not even a top 10 name on the social security list.

My kindergartener is named lily and she is at a large elementary school. She is the only lily in her grade but their are 3 girls named Lucy. I personally love all 3 names. I don’t think OP could go wrong with any of them but lily is not as popular as you claim.

Lily is my favourite of these.

We know a Lyla and it is always pronounced correctly.

I think a lot of people will pronounce your spelling Lil-a

Lucy - In a stadium of 100,000 people and 100,000 dogs, 234 dogs and 60 people would be named Lucy.

Lily - In a stadium of 100,000 people and 100,000 dogs, 103 dogs and 45 people would be named Lily.

I like Lily better. Have you considered Lina or Linda?
