I like Lillian. It's not a name that is popular among my age group, but as popular as it is among little girls these days, I'm sure there are quite a few who go by their full names rather than Lily. It ranked #22 in the U.S. last year, but popularity varies by state and even by region. I live in the U.S., but it doesn't seem to be that popular where I live in comparison to other parts of the U.S. I can't speak for every country in Europe, but going by the top 100 lists from European countries that I've seen, it doesn't seem to be very popular.

I think Lillian is a lovely name. I don't think it's common. I've never met someone called Lillian before.

I don't think Lillian is common at all! But from opinions on name boards I think it might grow soon, but not for a couple of years. There are definitely more Lillie / Lillys etc about than Lillian nn Lillie. Personally I prefer the look and sound of Liliana, for me it seems less dated and more "fun".

I do however really like Lillian, it would be nice for her to be Lillian for the majority of the time but occasionally called Lillie I see no problem with.

I can't lke Lillian, but it's just from pesonal experience;I've known two people named Lillian, and didn't like either one.

Lillie, I like better that Lily.

I think it is interesting...different yet similar to the trendy Lily. My grandmas name is Lillian, she is called Lil. It suits her nicely. I also know 2 little Lillians. It isnt really something I would expect on a little girl but I think it could work.

I dont think its too common...I think Lillie would help it get by a little better.

Overall, I'd say go for it.
