Comment left Nov 10, 2009: "When I named my daughter Lily 11 years ago, nobody was doing it. When she was a newborn, the only other Lily I came across was an elderly lady in a fabric store. She was shocked that my baby's name was Lily, and I was excited that hers was." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jul 22, 2009: "When I was about 10 I decided that I wanted to name a daughter Lily. We have a custom in my family of natural names, and I thought it was perfect because it is very feminine and natural without being hippy or weird. Unfortunately the name has become incredibly popular lately and I'm not sure I will be able to use it.
If your after natural names the ones in my family (two generations) are Rowan, Cherry, Martin, Robin, Heather, Brook, Pearl, Arum and Rose (me)." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Jan 15, 2009: "I named my daughter Lily 12 years ago; I'm a botanist and her father is a horticulturist and it seemed right. Like a lily, she has grown up to be tall and fair; she is pure of heart and beautiful. It's the perfect name for her." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 31, 2008: "I'm reading here about a lot of Lily's who feel as if their name is being "stolen" per-say. I understand this, I am an Abby, plain and simple Abby. It is quite more common now than it was 28 years ago when I was given my name. Oh well. I now have a Lily Raine, a beautiful daughter who was named after two different great-grandmothers. Her Dad's grandma Lily and my grandma Lorraine. I wanted to call her Raine, but Raine Lily just didn't have the same ring to it as Lily Raine. So I thought I would call her by her middle name. In the hospital we tried calling her Raine, but it just wouldn't come out. Her name WAS Lily, no doubt about it. She will be turning a year in 2 weeks and she is the most perfect Lily I have ever met, and her name suits her to a tee. To those who feel their name is being stolen, just feel blessed that someday soon you might be able to find a pen or keychain with your name on it in a grocery store! That was always a bummer for me!" (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Dec 21, 2008: "My name is Lily and I'm 17 and i absolutely love my name even though a few years back i may of of said that but i LOVE it now because no one my age has it which is nice as most of there names are fairly bland and boring, my only concern is that i hear my name alot for younger children now in there toddler years which i find fairly annoying because i liked that my name was different and insual. my full name is 'Lily Rose' and i think they go together nicely as they are both flowers but they do not sound out of place or wierd put together but all in all i love my name (:" (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Jul 09, 2008: "I used to like how nobody anywhere had my name Lily, but now i start to see everywhere little kids named Lily. Now I don't think of it as a very unique name, but it was when I was born." (Report as inappropriate)

Comment left Apr 11, 2008: "My daughter has just named her new born Caitlyn Lily so feminine I think." (Report as inappropriate)
Comment left Mar 30, 2008: "I'm 25 and my name is Lily. When I was growing up it wasn't popular at all but people would always tell my mom that they loved my name and that the name suits me. When I was in H.S. I really started loving my name b/c it was different without being odd. Now that it has become popular... it's strange for me to hear people call their little girls Lily. I just think to myself..."it was my name first"." (Report as inappropriate)
