My little girl is Lily.   She is being named for my grandmother, so I'm not concerned about popularity. 

I do see the name quite a bit on this message board, but I honestly dont know any Lily's in person except for my grandmother.....so perhaps it's regional.   I know a couple of little Lyla's, though.

We are having a Lily. But I only know of 2 or 3 little girls with that name across 2 states. Not any more popular than other names we were considering.

My cousin just named her DD Lily. (But that's the only one I know right now, in my personal life.) Actually, as I started this reply I just remembered: She gave her the name Lillian but never intends to call her Lillian. She's known as Lily. And I've never heard her referred to as Lillian.  I think it's pretty popular, but I think it's both very pretty and very cute and popularity wouldn't bother me on this one.

My daughter is Lily O'Brien and other then one other adult named Lily (My husband's cousin and name inspiration) we don't know any other Lily's - surprisingly. We  live in a major city and thought she'd be 1 of 5 Lily's on the playground or in daycare but currently she is the only one.

 

We were also worried about popularity but decided to go with it since we both loved the name and my husband has always wanted to name his first daughter Lily.

I know 4 under the age of 5, plus a handful that are older (but all younger than high school).  

Even if there aren't any in your circle, there are a lot of little Lilys running around and your Lily is eventually going to be in the bigger world and find that her name is very, very common.  It's a beautiful name and you should use it if you love it, but I think sometimes people convince themselves that a name's not really popular just because they haven't run across it much.

It is popular but not top-5 popular. I hear it a lot on here too but don't know anybody in real life with the name. If you love it and your H loves it too, I'd say you should go for it!

I only know two- a friend of a friend who is in her early 20s and a friends daughter who is about 4.

I love it too, and while it might be a little more popular than a few years ago, I don't think that it is too much

I know one that is my age, and in my daughter's school there is one in the 4yo class.  I have about fifty'leven friends with kids and no one has used it yet.

Nothing is more discouraging than unappreciated sarcasm.

I know at least two. One is 2 years old, the other is about 7 or 8. I think in my area it was more popular a few years ago.
