Another B name - my sister is Biatra, after my grandmother's sister, with a Greek equivalent of Viatrix or Viatriki, she gets called Bee, BiBi ( one of my own daughter;s pet names.) We've met a Beatrix but never a Biatra.

Lillian is a traditional European spelling... if you're Dutch!

Also, Lilly (just "Lilly", not short for Lillian) in the States has a slightly different origin. It comes from the tradition of using an old family surname as a daughter's first name. Lilly (with 2 Ls) is a surname of Anglo-Saxon origin.

Ok, so I thought I'd better return to this thread and let you know that we finally decided on a name a few days ago - after ruling out ALL five of the names on the list called The Short Shortlist of Names We Both Agree On, we went with a late entry... So our little girl is Alouette Bee, or Lula for short.

(like)

[Otta]

"or Lula for short."

My wife calls our eldest Lula (which is nothing like her name), I think it's cute.

Is Alouette pronounced A-LOO-ET? Nice name, don't think I've heard it before.

[Saffron]

Lovely name. (Means lark in French?)

Little Saff's name was a late entry too. Husband didn't even manage to produce a "Short List". His list just consisted of turning down everything on mine! We had an easier time naming our cat than our child!!

We wanted to give Little Saff another middle name, so we offered her a few options. She's chosen Halima for herself. It makes her full name complete in a nice way, and I like that she chose it for herself.
