Re: Lilja is Lily in Swedish nt.
in reply to a message by SWE
Ah the difference a language makes. . . Because it is not English, I think that the average person wouldn't see "Lily" right away. They might see Lillith, Lilliah or Lillian - which are not as "natur-y" feeling as the simple Lily. For example, I would use the Marigold on a child and it would be very flowery - but if I used Nevena (Slavic for marigold), than it would just seem like a lovely name. However, it would still actually be natur-y, just not obviously so. ______________________________________________
