I really love the name Lylah/Lilah.... But the only thing that is keeping me from naming my daughter that is that I can't tell if its one of those names that have a younger connotation to it, or is that just me being a worrisome mom. I would greatly appreciate opinions!

I love the name Lila in general! I don't care for it spelled as Lylah, but to each their own. I feel like the only thing that feels "younger" about it is the spelling. I can imagine the name in general aging, like I can picture a 50 year old Lila. But I see Lylah as a younger kid <3 Thats just my personal opinion though! <3

I agree with Remy. Lila and Lilah are both nice, but Lylah seems a little too young / cutesy.

I personally like it spelled Lylah. I think it's very pretty name, sounds cutesy to me yes but also sounds sweet. ~

Lilah is quite nicknamey, so it sounds childish. You could use a longer name like Delilah and have Lilah as a nickname - that way she has a more grown-up name to use as an adult, if Lilah is too childish.

Names which could have Lila/Lilah as a nickname could be:
Delilah
Liliana
Lillian
Jalila
