I actually know a Lillian James! They call her Lilly. The James honor her late grandfather, who actually died when her mom was in high school.

Lovely name, lovely reason, go for it.

This is what I thought as well when making my decision. We decided to go with middle name James to honor my late father, but I figure others might use it if it was their maiden name.

When I think of James for a girl I think of the supermodel James King (her real name is Jaime but she goes by her nickname). So maybe it does not apply to you. But I do think of it as a possible but unusual girl name.

BTW, I posted already saying I like it - just wanted to add that.

It is lovely. James is nice as a middle -- sounds like you are honoring someone from your family or it is a maiden name.

I like it. It sounds like the name of a Vaudeville star.

PP, we agree on names and Ron Livingston's hotness; I think this is could be the start of a beautiful friendship. (You do love "Casablanca" too, right?)

This. I love it. And it definitely not redneck. Not even a little bit.

prefer Lilly to Lillian.

Either middle name is fine.

I like it. My DD is a Lily (tho' not Lillian); she's turning 16 and seems quite happy with her name. All 3 of our kids have family names as middle names; I think they enjoy having that connection.

Love it. Middle names definitely do not need to be girly - what's the point, if she uses her first name? I feel like middle names are perfect for honoring a relative or preserving a mother's maiden name.

I like it a lot.

Lillian is a VERY girly name, and the James balances it out. And I would if anything "assume" that it was a family name, or a maiden name of mom or something. Either way, i'ts fine.
