Lillian/Lily too common? vs. Yes vs. No

My husband and I are expecting a baby girl in 6 weeks. We decided on the name Lillian several months ago however, recently it seems that every little girl we meet at the park or the store is named Lily or Lillian. I think this bothers my husband more than it bothers me, but I don’t want a name that is very common. Do you know any/many Lilys? I think Lillian is a beautiful name but I would love to suggestions for other older/classic girl names. ... prefer feminine ones. Thanks! :)

I haven’t actually come across any Lilys or Lillians ...but the internet sure gives me the impression that there are many little ladies with the name Lily out there...

What do you think of Vivian? Same feel, maybe a little less common? That being said, go with the name you love. ;)

I have a daughter named Lilly, 2 of my friends have Lily’s and there is a little girl in my daughter’s class who also has the name Lily. It’s pretty, but very common!

Suggestions:
Elle
Jadis
Jolie
Amerique
Mirabelle
Sommet
Alba
Aria
Aurora
Calia
Gemma
Mira

Do you like Lucille nn Lucy? Elsie or Alcie might also be a nice alternative for you.

Lillian is not nearly as popular as Lily.
Lillia (Lily-a) is another alternative that’s vintage & uncommon.

Lydia
Lilith
