Is Lily a popular name for little girls?

Parents who have young children starting school - do you see a lot of little girls named Lily? I know statistically it ranked as the 27th most popular name in the US last year (according to SSA), but what do you think? Is it common?

Is Lily a popular name for little girls?
If your worried about naming your baby something.. that is over used... I think your okay. I dont hear the name quite often. My friend just had a baby and she named her daughter Lilly Grace... %26amp; that is the first time I have heard the name in a long time. Lily is a beautiful name BTW
Reply:hey.. well no not really.. my son is going up to school next year and i can honestly say there are no Lilly's in his daycare class... the only name there are 2 of is Elle - well ones Elle, ones Ellie... but they both get called Ellie! My son's daycare class is a big group too!





I love the name Lilly.. i would only ever use it as middle name but i do think its very cute for a little girl! and i know how u feel.. my name is Nicola and there were maybe 5 or 6 others in my year at school.. wish i'd been given a nice unique name like Roxanne or something!
Reply:Lily is a popular name, especially when you combine it with all the Lillys and other varients. I see it mentioned so often, it's only going to get more popular.


I don't like the name anyway, it's cutesy and flaky. I'd prefer something stronger.



Reply:Yes I do know a few Lily's in my area (Somerset, uk).





However, around this area it is also a nick name for a vagina ~





boys have willies


and


girls have lillies





Just a thought if you were considering it as a name!
Reply:I think Lily is a beautiful name. Being a Jennifer, I have the same name as probably 1/2 the people my age, so I really like names that aren't popular but aren't really out there too. Lily is perfect.
Reply:I teach preschool and I am seeing more and more of that name. There are 3 little girls in my class, and they are all spelled differently. There are Lily A., Lilli N., and Lili and Z. that's how we have to address them.
Reply:It is not a popular name nowadays, I do not know any "Lily"s. I'm in highschool, I moved schools 3 times now, and been there for a few weeks each, never seen anyone named Lily.
Reply:Yes i have heard of a lot of people of all ages called lily ( i live in the UK) I don't really like it though because its also a common pet name in the UK lol
Reply:I don't know anyone with the name Lily. My daughter (age 5) doesn't have any kids named Lily in her class. She actually doesn't have any little girls with the same names, but there are 3 Aiden's and 3 Bryce's in her grade!
Reply:I know a lot of Lily's that are young, under ten mostly. I don't know many teenagers or young people named Lily though.

Reply:It's becoming quite popular. One of my friends runs a daycare, and she's got a couple of them for the first time. Within the next 3 or 4 years, there's going to be a ton of them in school.
Reply:I'm not a parent, but I work with preschoolers and have done so since 2006; I have only come across one girl named Lily. I'm 20, and I actually know more girls named Lily who are my age than little girls.
Reply:I work at a school where I help teach first grade. I don't see too many lilys in the class. I've had one in my class last year. I think that name is so beautiful.
Reply:I don't know a Lily.





It's one of my favourite names. I love it. Hey, who cares whether its popular. Go for it!

Reply:I don't think it's all that popular of a name. I worked in a daycare during the summer, and there wasn't one Lily.
Reply:No, I don't think it is very common but I also live in Scotland. I love the name Lily but I have never met anyone with that name.
Reply:I think it is common however I don't hear it much in schools like elementary and preschool but I think it is rich and vibrant so go for it!
Reply:Not currently. I definately think its on the rise. SSA ranked it #69 in 2003 and it was #27 in 2007..
