A Bit Overused, But Still Fab: Lillian

A decade ago, the name Lillian was still cutting edge, like Ivy is today. Now, it's fairly common, but that doesn't make it dull. Lillian exudes class and femininity, just like Lillian Gish did back in the golden age of silent movies.

She worked with DW Griffith from 1912 to 1921, and many agree that she was the greatest film actress of all time. Her long successful career spanned 75 years. Unbelievably, she appeared in her last movie opposite Bette Davis in 1987!

The name Lillian works well as a middle name as well as a first name. It's got some great nicknames: Lilly, Lily, Little Lil.
