Which name do you like better? Lilaea or Lileia?

Question

Just thought I'd mention: this is for a character in a story, not a little girl :)

And also, her nickname will be 'Lily'

Answer 1

Whichever you decide, I'm betting the child is going to be called "Lily." I'm also betting that this child will spend an awful lot of her life (1) telling people how to spell her name and (2) explaining how to pronounce her name.

Answer 2

Lilaea or Lileah

If it is pronounced 'Lil-AY-uh', with the emphasis on the 'AY'.

Answer 3

I loathe them equally

Answer 4

Lileia

Answer 5

It depends on whether you prefer the Greek or Latin spelling.  People aren't going to know how to pronounce it either way.  I like the long a, go with Lileia.
