A middle name for Lily

Oue beautiful baby girl is due at the end of May and we are seriously thinking we will name her Lily, but we can't think of a middle name. Our surname is quite strong, Crank, so we wanted a very feminine first name. Any suggestions for a middle name??

Lily Rose Crank???

My DD's middle name is Kate, though I'm not sure it would go with your surname. We also considered
Rose and Anne.

I like Lily Anna
HTH

I have a friend whose daughter is Lily Grace

My first thought was Rose!! It sounds beautiful with Lily and even OK with Crank. Kate is beautiful too, thats DD's middle name but LIly Kate Crank isn't quite as good. What about May?

Lily Rose and Lily Anna are both very pretty!!
My boss's daughter is Lily Grace :)

I think you need a longer, feminine middle name to fit with your last name...

Lily Isabella
Lily Violet
Lily Marie
Lily Josephine
Lily Madeleine
Lily Catherine
Lily Mirabel
Lily Amelie
Lily Tallulah
Lily Capri

Lily Jade/Jayde Crank?

Lily Rae Crank?

Lily Ava Crank?

Lily Ada Crank?

i like lilly issbella crank.

or lilly jade rose crank.

what about lilly-rose isabella crank

then its very feminine

my name is hyphenated and i love it some days as i get to choose if i want to be kelly or kelly-anne lol

I thought Lily Grace too.

Lily Scarlett
Lily Summer
Lily Maeve
Lily Dawn
Lily Anne
Lily Hazel

i love lily mae ....mmmmm but thats doesnt really go with crank

Lily Catherine sounds great (amysarah's suggestion) but if you don't want her initials to be LCC then you could spell Katherine.

I just thought of Lily Kate

Lily Ava
Lily Grace??

Hey Joey! I love love love the name Lily! Great choice!

I would say that Lily Grace is lovely as is Lily Catherine or Lily Jospehine.

I'm a bit "thingy" about the name sounding too country... If you put on an american accent and say "lily mae" it just sounds too country (okay, I know I'm sounding crazy here). Lily Rose almost fits into this category too. Too flowery...

I also don't like middle names that sound like it's part of the first name. Hence Lily Anne could be confused with Lilian.

Anyway, enough rambling from me... :)

I have to be biased in my answer as we just named our beautiful little girl Lily Catherine :D

Lily Charlotte (very sweet)
Lily Claire
Lily Sophia (sophisticated)
Lily Sophie
Lily Allegra (different and beautiful)
Lily Harriet (funky and sounds cool with your last name)
Lily Scarlet (how cute)
Lily Eve (short and sweet)
Lily Paige
I love some of these names :D

I agree it should be a longer middle name - how about

Lily Seraphine
Lily Emmeline
Lily Celeste
Lily Sapphire
Lily Maree
Lily Therese
Lily Amara
Lily Sienna
Lily Savannah

All the best! :)

ETA - LOVE Lily Charlotte!

For some reason the name Elena (pronounced "E-lay-na") is popping into my head :)

I LOVE Lily Grace, but I agree with amysarah, that a longer middle name would probably go better.
Lily Isabella Crank is GORGEOUS!!

My Lilli, was Lilli Eileen, named after her grandma. Though my hubby loved isabella as a middle name to :)

I absolutely love Lily Rose. My little girl is due in 6weeks and this name is at the top of my list. My husband thinks its too flowery, I disagree I think its just beautiful. I do like Lily Grace though.

Lily Belle
Lily Eden
Lily Matisse
Lily Maeve

Good luck with your decision....

I like Lily Anne. Grace, Sue, Rose, Jane, Tia, Anna... I like those too hehe If Ash was a girl he was going to be Lilli Anne :)

My Neice is Lily Mae and my Cousin's Daughter is Lily Kate

Something a bit more unusual..

Lily Bay

A fashion designer I knew in Melbourne named her daughter this and I thought it was SOOO pretty!

What about

Lily Elizabeth

It goes with your surame.

Lily Sophia (sounds very pretty)
Lily Anastasia
Lily Marie
Lily Victoria
Lily Janine
Lily Catherine

Let us know what you decide. All the best in choosing a name for your little princess!!

I love Lily-Mae...but I may be a bit biased, as I was born at the end of may and that is my name lol ;)

I really really love Lily with the Middle name Pearl, Lily Pearl is a name on our list of possibilities if we have a girl oneday

Lily Ellen is our beautiful baby's name, Lily Ellen Crank :)

I agree about the longer middle name it just evens out the name. And i think Lily Scarlet is just beautiful though Lily Grace is really nice as well :)

I second Lily Mae. Mae is my middle name ;)

I think the middle name would need a few syllables to take the punch out of the surname IYKWIM..

Lily Sabrina
Lily Antoinette
Lily Nikita
Lily Mikayla
