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.

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’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.

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.

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

I think they’re beautiful names but too similar.

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