The story
Lilliana is the Lily family at its most ceremonial, the flower name opened into four syllables, and its record is a staircase: higher every decade from the 1950s through the 2010s, six consecutive rises, about 20 becoming 11,100, with 4,900 so far this decade. The constellation around it is one of the ledger's densest: Lillian, the grandmother giant, about 465,100; Lily, the modern flower, about 189,100; Liliana, the single-l spelling usual in Italian and Spanish, about 75,100, ahead of Lilliana's own 22,800; and the two spellings rise and settle together, couples law as usual. It goes to girls without exception: not one boy in the record. Somewhere between the garden and the opera box, Lilliana is the lily with its gloves on, and six decades of families have reached for exactly that.
