Liliana Odette!
close [x]
I'm very nearly finished editing my short lists (I may post them if I ever get them completely settled!), but I have a quick question about Liliana. The Liliana Odette part is definitely set, I absolutely love the pairing and I have for years. I had the family name Pearl paired with it as a second name, but I'm not sure I really love it anymore. Besides, Pearl would have honored my sister, and she's honored a couple times elsewhere, so I'm considering other options. These are my top choices, but since Liliana honors both my grandmothers, I'm definitely open to something not honoring. Any ideas there? I want something short, though, as Liliana Odette _____ Richards is already long enough!
Liliana Odette Claire
Liliana Odette Jane
Or should I just keep Liliana Odette Pearl? I also am really loving Esme lately, and that would be honoring--wdyt of Liliana Esme? Possibly Liliana Esme Odette?
Thanks, ladies!

I like Liliana Odette, lovely name! I'd probably go with Liliana Renee Odette or Liliana Esme Odette, though. :)

@the-bird-house - well, lol, Jane isn't filler for me, it wasn't just because I like the name, it honors a long line of Johns in my family (literally. There are more Johns in my family than I have fingers! Almost more than I have fingers and toes!), including my grandfather, dad, and brother. Same for Claire. It would honor their MN, Robert. As someone who's a _____ Marie, I'm all for breaking the filler MN thing, but it's not filler at all to me when it has so much significance. I do love Cora, and it's another family name, but I'm not sure I like the flow of Liliana Odette Cora. Liliana Cora Odette might be an option, though!
@heartmama - thanks! I think I'm coming back to Pearl... I don't really like it as a FN at all, but I love that it honors my sister, and I think Liliana Odette Pearl works fairly well. I'm just not sure it's sweet like Claire would be. I do like it, though.
@Olivia - lol, you definitely have your right to that opinion! I think it's gorgeous but I know Esme isn't for everyone. I don't think it really works with Liliana, but I do love it. I was considering it with Charlotte and Eleanor, too. I had tossed around Grace, too, as it's my grandmother's MN, but I feel like using Grace would be a bit redundant, since the Ana part would be honoring the same grandmother. And Ana means "grace"... I like Alice, too, but I don't really love Liliana Alice Odette. Hmm.
@Jordyn - thanks! Pearl and Claire are my favorites, too. I think Pearl gives it some class, but Claire gives it some sweetness. I'm torn between the two right now, but those are definitely my favorites, too!

I love your original combo, Liliana Odette Pearl the most. Liliana Odette Claire comes a close second though. I with Olivia on this one, I really dislike both Esme and Jane, sorry!

I'm sorry, I really dislike the name Esme. I've never seen the appeal to it. I guess I just don't fine it 'pretty' in other words.
I really like Liliana Odette Pearl. I think the combo alone is quite lovely. I think Claire is lovely too, not really keen on Jane with it! I think Rose, Eve, Liliana Grace Odette, Faith, Liliana Alice Odette may work, if you like any of them.

Quoting The-Bird-House
I don't know how I feel about Claire and Jane in the third wheel spot. I think its particially because I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jane and don't enjoy its use as a filler.
I think more times then not, a MN is not a filler, but often times I hear people assume that certain names are fillers. I also feel that most people using a second MN are not thinking of that space as a third wheel, just another filler. My daughter's name is Isla Jane Romilly. All three names were highly considered (all honor and/or have special meaning).

Liliana Odette Pearl is gorgeous! I also really like Liliana Odette Esme. Both are beautiful, elegant, and spunky.

I like Liliana Odette Esme and Liliana Emse Odette. (Liliana is a beautiful name btw!)I'm not entirely a fan of Pearl to begin with but with Liliana Odette I think it sounds too old? If that makes sense. But I suppose only because the name Pearl I have only ever seen on older ladies. So it could be pretty to bring back...Also, I don't know how I feel about Claire and Jane in the third wheel spot. I think its particially because I LOVE LOVE LOVE Jane and don't enjoy its use as a filler. And I think Claire largely ends up being a filler middle name too (like Elizabeth, Lynn, Ann, Grace, Hope, Marie, etc. the common culprits).
Some other options:
Liliana Odette Eve
Liliana Odette Cora
Liliana Odette Alba
Liliana Odette Paige
Liliana Odette Moira
Liliana Odette Lyra
Liliana Odette Celia
Hmmm... now some of the names I suggested seem old to me as well... Anyhow, my favorites being Liliana Esme Odette and Liliana Odette Celia.
Good luck and I hope this helps!!
