Hopefully I'm not complicating matters here, but my daughter's middle name is Lily. I know you said you'd like to know if we had any family members with any of the names you've chosen. Like I say, it's a middle name, not her first name, so it's very rarely used, so far less of a connection. But I thought you might still want to know!

Thanks for letting me know. It has been something of a concern. I think as it's a middle name that's hardly used then that's OK. I think if I start worrying about middle names other people have then I won't get anywhere. It is more that in this time that I am choosing my name, I do not want to be the second or third Susan in a close friend of family member's life. That when my name is said they immediately think of me, and not someone else they know and love. So if you don't call your daughter Lily at all then it's not a problem. I hope Chloe can pop her head in soon so she can give me the all clear on this. I am still seeing Phoebe as Phobe by the way. I don't want to be trans Phoebe, and see transphobe I didn't see it that way before I just saw Phoebe as Feebee. I guess I should be pleased I noticed it before choosing it

Definitely a good thing to spot earlier rather than later! It reminds me a bit of when we first started as a band, and we had real trouble trying to come up with a good name. Eventually we found one that met all our criteria and that everybody seemed happy with.
Until a couple of weeks later when somebody piped up and said "I don't want to be that guy, but doesn't it kind of sound a bit like XXX", where XXX is a very unfortunate word that you would never want to be associated with. At which point, 3 of us instantly replied with "Oh thank god yes, I've been thinking that for ages but didn't want to say anything after the trouble we had finding a name", and the other person instantly saw what we meant and agreed wholeheartedly.

Sometimes I think you maybe a tad overthink things, but right now I don't think you can overthink this. You gotta absolutely make sure this is absolutely right. Try some on for size and see how it goes. I'm still a Lily fan myself.
