Hey ya'll,
I was pretty set on doing Lillian Elizabeth (Elizabeth was my middle name), and I thought it was a cute way to honor my old middle name and my Mom's, but recently I went to a HS graduation and about 70% of the girl's middle names was Elizabeth!
While I am still entertaining the idea of keeping it, was wondering if anyone had a good suggestions for a middle for Lillian? I am open to suggestions!
Plus, it a bit of tongue twister and does not flow well when you say it aloud, try it: Lillian Elizabeth..it's a lot of L's!

Lillian is such a pretty name, did you have any other ones you were considering? my girls middles names are Louise (after me and my grandmother) and Elise if I had another girl her middle name would of been Marie after my mom and mother in laws middle name or Jayne just because I liked that
what about Lillian Rose I think they go good together, the name sounds very feminine

I second Lillian Rose, it flows nicely. Along those same lines, I like Lillian Paige and Lillian Grace.

you could shorten elizabeth to my middle name--beth!! Lillian Beth sounds good--it's very similar to my name though so I am biased (oh yeah and lily is my favorite girl's name--lol)

I like Lillian Beth.
Or Lillian Belle (short for Isabelle which is variation of Elizabeth). Also love Jayne or Maeve.
Every other little girl has Rose or Grace as a middle name, so I would avoid them.41

Yeah, while I think Rose and Grace are nice for middle names too, it's also pretty common.
I think I'm stuck back on Elizabeth or even Beth...it's shortens it up some but still honors my mom and I. Not 100% yet, but love the suggestions, thanks everyone!!

Well my DH hates Lillian Beth....
and to be honest with you I didn't want to do Elizabeth for a while there becuz my mom and I had this huge fight, and I was really upset at her for being so rude to my DH....but this is prob. the last grand daughter she'll ever have (she only has one other granddaughter and 12 grandsons) and I think I am just going to keep the Elizabeth...it's a bit of a tongue twister, but I think in the long run it will make me feel good that Elizabeth will be my daughter's middle name, as it was mine and it was hers, plus it was the first name of my grandmother on my Dad's side, and my Dad really wanted to name me Elizabeth...so I think it will still make everyone really happy, and I am just a people pleaser
