Comments for the name Lillie

I think it is a cute name. It is better than Lily (it is not so popular).

In Alice Walker's novel The Color Purple, Shug Avery's given name is Lillie.

This spelling is most often used as the nickname for Lillian. Very classy and feminine.

Lillie Langtry, British actress and courtesan. But she was born Emilie.

Very cute! Can be short for Lillian, Lilith, and other names beginning with LIL.

Well - I want to kick myself for this, but - I actually like this spelling for a boy. Ahhh! It's so unlike me, but I think this would be cool on a guy. I thought of it when I was playing with my 3-year-old cousin Logan the other day. "Lillie" just popped into my head. Then I saw on the popularity charts that it had once been on the charts for boys (though it didn't do so well ;D). Oh, I'm glad I got that off of my chest. Please don't think I'm insane!

Lillie is a great name. Just be warned though the spelling of the name changes so much because of the more popular spellings. It needs to get more known so then there aren't that many mistakes in the spelling.

I personally like the spelling Lily instead of Lillie but it is a very beautiful name. I know someone by the name of Lillie Belle but her mother calls her Mary. Why? I have no idea but I feel sorry for the girl.

I like the ending "ie" better than "y" because most names that end in "y" are usually overused and "ie" makes it unique like Lillie, Carlie, Libbie, etc.

Lillie is the real name of Shug Avery in the book The Color Purple by Alice Walker.

I think this is a beautiful spelling of the name Lily.

Generally, "-ie" makes a name look far more delicate than the original - Lillie is a perfect example of this. I much prefer this to Lily.
