[quote=Anonymous]OMG - I love all these names, but we couldn't use any of them because DH's last name begins with letter L and I really don't like L alliteration. Of the three you list, I love Lucy, but would hesitate to use it because there are a lot of dogs named Lucy -- a lot. I also love Lily (it was probably my favorite when our DD was born), but there are many, many, many girls and young women named Lily -- even more than dogs named Lucy. So, I would go with Lila, pronounced with a long I. Will some people pronounce it differently? Of course, but not that many and to me that's not a reason to rule out a name you love. As for the person who suggested that it's an Indian name, it's also a traditional Greek name and quite common in France as well. So, rather than charging others with cultural appropriation, why not revel in the charm of a name that has been loved by people the world over? [/quote]
