Both are pretty. I prefer Lilia slightly but not because Liliana is feminine or "frilly" but because she seems a tad dated and trendy to me.I'm a bit tired of Lil- names in general but Lilia is one of the nicest ones. I also like Liliane!

Liliana is too frilly and sweet for me. I like Lilia; I think it’s pretty, ages well and it’s not too long or too short.

Liliana — delicate, frilly woman who is traditionally feminine in the extreme. Loves heavy makeup, showy dresses, and big, gaudy jewelry, giggles a lot.Lilia — down-to-Earth, professional Italian woman. Probably a business owner. Appreciates beauty but isn’t defined by it. I definitely prefer Lilia.

I prefer Lilia. I like how simple it is, and its not very common still. Liliana seems more feminine and flowery.

I Love Liliana and Lily. Liliana is frilly and girly, but I love that about it. I have a little girl named Liliana (Lily 50% of the time). She’s is very girly, and sweet. The name suits her well.
I think a lot of people dislike frilly names, but I actually love them as long they’re not overboard. Lilia is pretty too, but I find it hard to say sometimes. I think that’s just me though.

I love Lily. Lilia is nice too. I also like Lilja. Liliana is just too long and frilly. I like it but wouldn't use it anymore. When I think of it I often imagine a rather ditzy girl in her mid 20s who is into fake nails, make up, discos etc. Lilia is more down to earth and makes me think of the flower more. Lily is the nicest by far, in my opinion. I never cared for Lillian.
