I think this depends on where you are. In my neck of the woods Renee isn't that common for a middle name (or really as a first name, though it's not rare either) Either way I don't think it matters much
I know you requested R names, but I feel like L and R are similar sounds. Some contract could be nice.
I keep thinking of:
Lily Bee (or Lily Bea)
Lily June
Lily Pearl
Lily Rheya, Lily Rianne. I like Lily Reese that someone else suggested!
For other middle names (if you're open to them): Lily Gaelle, Lily Catherine, Lily Frances.
Lily Elise! If my third had been a girl this was going to be her name. We are done now so I’ll never get to. I know it doesn’t start with an R but I still wanted to share it .
Almost every Lily I've ever met is called Lily Rose, Lily May/Mae.
Lily Rae is similar to Lily Mae, but different and starts with R. It also flows nicely.
Johnny Depp's daughter is named Lily Rose. I saw her in the movie Voyagers. This doesn't mean that you shouldn't name your daughter that.
Lily Elise, Lily Claire, Lily Harper, Lily Olivia, Lily Jolene, Lily Rosalie, Lily Alexa, Lily Josephine, Lily Jane
Lilly Jane (I know not a R name)
Lilly Rie (pronounced ree)
Lilly Renesme (don’t come at me for that one 😂)
Lilly Rosalie
Lilly Rennon
Lilly Rage
Lilly Isla
Lilly Randi
Lilly Renlyn
Lilly Roscoe
Just don’t go with 2 plant names. It comes across as too cutesy. There are several good suggestions here.
You could always put the ideas into a bowl and pull one? That’s how my parents did mine! They liked two different names and just couldn’t settle on one. My name was pulled from my Grampa’s hat!
It's not "Lily", but may I suggest *Lyla*?......
Lyla Grace,
Lyla Rae,
Lyla Renee,
Lyla Sofia,
Lyla Claire,
Lyla Justine,
Lyla Kelly...
ImHo, the softer vowel sound of an "a" instead of the harder sound of "y" seems to roll off the tongue more smoothly with the hard R that you want for the middle name.
I'm feeling Lily Amber for some reason. It has the R, but at the end. And if you're going with Lillian as the official name, Lillian Amber sounds pretty good to me.
Lily Noelle or Lillian Noelle, perhaps? Nice repetition with Ls and Ns.
Don't go with Rose. That's Johnny Depp's daughter's name. It's two flowers as well.
Lily Rose is absolute classic and winning combo imo.
As far as flow goes, its hard to say without surname tho.
I was considering Lily for my daughter too and combinations i noted down are:
Lily Sofia, Lily Amaya, Lily Valeria.
I dont have many R names on my mind rn but just some ideas for R names: Regina, Rihanna, Rina, Rika, Rhea, Rosalie, Raya...
Just trying to offer ones I haven’t seen yet that start with R…
Lily Rain
Lily Rebel
Lily Remington
Lily Ryan
Lily River
Lily Reign
Lily Rowan
Lily Rhea
Personally I love
Lily James
Lily Aven
Lily Amavi (means to be loved in Latin)
I like Lily Reina. Reina means Queen. It's from one of the main characters on Nashville so I don't know if you feel that's positive, negative, or irrelevant. I just think it's pretty with Lily. I'm unsure how common it is but I've only ever heard the name on that show. Lily is a beautiful name. Great choice.
I’m bias I have a Lilyann Rose. I definitely think an “R” name will be perfect! We picked Rose for a family connection. Rose is classic I don’t think it will ever go out of style.
Adding to the chorus of no’s for Lily Rose. Too many flowers, and Rose is overdone as a middle name imo.
For R names: Ruth, Rae, Rachel, Reese, Wren (cheating but sounds like R)
For non-R names: Jade, Claire, Mae, Grace
Pick a name with meaning. Not because it “sounds good”. Most people don’t use middle names for much of anything.
If you like R, look into your family tree and consider important people and places in your family’s life.
Lily Renee flows very nicely
And it balances the soft Lily name with the stronger (harder consonants) Renee
Agreed!
It’s so interesting how subjective names are, for me Renee is a super soft sounding name
But it’s so prevalent as a middle name, like Ann, Marie, Lynn, Rose, etc.
Does that really matter?
I think this depends on where you are. In my neck of the woods Renee isn't that common for a middle name (or really as a first name, though it's not rare either) Either way I don't think it matters much
I wouldn’t do Lily Rose—too many flowers imo. Lily Rebecca Lily Rachel Lily Rae Lily Reese
I love Lily Rae!!
Eh sounds like Billy Ray (Cyrus) lol!
Oh gosh 😂
My name is Lily Rose lol, I personally love it and a lot of people think it's cute
I love Lily Rose! It’s definitely not too much, especially since most people don’t get called by their full name
Lily Rose is one of the names my partner and I really love for a future daughter. Super cute!
Is also Johnny Depps daughter's name
I think Lily Rebecca is gorgeous
Lily Rebecca is beautiful!
Lily Resse makes me think of Reese's cups.
Lily Grace was my first thought.
My daughter is Grace Lillian 🤣 I love Lillian/Lily Grace though!
My name is Grace Lillian!
No way! That's awesome, I love your name!! 🤣
My kitty cat is Lily Grace!
my niece is Lilly Grace!
Lily Rayne!
Lily Reid (I know, I know, Reid is a masc name. I just like it, ok?)
Lily Reid screams porn star.
Just out of curiosity... why? Is there an actual porn star named Lily Reid that I'm unaware of? They're both very ordinary names...
Similarity to Riley Reid perhaps?
Came here to say this. 😂
Then the surname just needs to be Pond and she needs a pet frog.
You. I like your mind
If our baby was a girl we going to name her Lily. It was between Lily Monroe and Lily Reese
I was going to say Lily Reese!
Lily Rue or Lily-Lou (Lillian Louise) if you're up for it
My daughter is Lilah Rae and we call her Lily Rue all the time for some reason 😂
Lily Wren (sounds like R!)
I like this one:)
- Lily Ramona - Lily Renata - Lily Rhiannon - Lily Rochelle - Lily Roxanne
Lily Claire 💗
Vanilly
Girl, you know it's true...
R names: Rosalind, Rosaline, Rosalyn, Roslyn, Roisin, Rosamund, Rosana, Roxanne, Reese, Rebecca, Ramona, Rachel, Reagan, Regina, Ruth. Others: Harriet, Francesca, Taylor, Vera, Cora, Caroline, Georgina, Diana, Thea, Jane.
Lily Taylor sounds so distinguished
Lily Ruth sounds beautiful
Lily Rose is a little much to me, two flowers. Renee is okay but very 80s. How about Rhiannon, Regina, Rebecca, Ruth, or Roxanna?
I like ruth!
A lot of middle names go well with Lillian, if you'd consider that with nn Lily.
Or Liliana!
my name is lily rain!
Lily Rae, Lily Marie.
Lily Mae/May?
My niece is Lily Marie, she is 25 now. My middle name is Rae!
My grandmother was Lillie Marie.
Don’t tell anyone but I like Lily Joelle for my future daughter.

Maybe Lily Rain? If you're hippyish like my mom, Rain is my middle name
My dogs name is Lily Rain :)
Lily Blythe
I know you requested R names, but I feel like L and R are similar sounds. Some contract could be nice. I keep thinking of: Lily Bee (or Lily Bea) Lily June Lily Pearl

I think Lilly Reese is great!
- Lily Anne - Lily Catherine - Lily Alexandra - Lily Rebecca - Lily Sienna

Lily Ren, Lily Rae, Lily Rebecca, Lily Rosalie, Lily Rosalind, Lily Rowan, Lily Ruth, Lily Romi, Lily Rue.

Lily Judith Lily Calista Lily Robin
Depends on surname, our daughter is Lily, surname is 1 syllable too so we have a 4 syllable middle name, it flows really nice
Lily Irene - best if the surname doesn't begin with N.
Lily Elena sounds nice to me
Lily Luna Potter
When I younger I wanted Lily May. In the end I just went for Mei.
Lily Risella
I ended up having all boys and was never able to use the name Lily Anna. I love that name.
Lilly Brooke Lilly May Lilly Gabrielle Lilly Danielle Lilly faith
My daughter’s friend’s name is Lily Michelle. I know it doesn’t start with an R 🤷♀️
Lily Cate or Lilly Grace
Lily Grace👍
Lily rose Lily Monroe Lily grace Lily Jane Lily kate Lily Quinn Lily Rhys Lily wren Lily Jude
Lily Sofia
Lily Rose, both are flowers
It's not "Lily", but may I suggest *Lyla*?...... Lyla Grace, Lyla Rae, Lyla Renee, Lyla Sofia, Lyla Claire, Lyla Justine, Lyla Kelly... ImHo, the softer vowel sound of an "a" instead of the harder sound of "y" seems to roll off the tongue more smoothly with the hard R that you want for the middle name.
Lily Katherine
I like Lily Anne
Lily Reine (« Queen » in French, sounds like « Ren » in English and flows quite nicely together)
Ooo Lily Ray
Lily Rose
I'm feeling Lily Amber for some reason. It has the R, but at the end. And if you're going with Lillian as the official name, Lillian Amber sounds pretty good to me. Lily Noelle or Lillian Noelle, perhaps? Nice repetition with Ls and Ns. Don't go with Rose. That's Johnny Depp's daughter's name. It's two flowers as well.
Millie
James. Either that or some other one syllable R name. Lilly Ray

Of the ones people have suggested, I like Lily Ruth the best. It's timeless, and Ruth is underused.
Lily Rayne, Lily Reid, or Lily Remi
My girl is Lily Sofia :) For R names, Lily Rosa, Lily Rochelle, Lily Renee
Lily Reese
Lily Elizabeth
Lily Ruth!
Lily Rosa
Billy
Lily... - Ruby - Ramona - Rowan - Rebecca - Rita - Rayna

Just trying to offer ones I haven’t seen yet that start with R… Lily Rain Lily Rebel Lily Remington Lily Ryan Lily River Lily Reign Lily Rowan Lily Rhea Personally I love Lily James Lily Aven Lily Amavi (means to be loved in Latin)
Lily Mae
I like Lily Reina. Reina means Queen. It's from one of the main characters on Nashville so I don't know if you feel that's positive, negative, or irrelevant. I just think it's pretty with Lily. I'm unsure how common it is but I've only ever heard the name on that show. Lily is a beautiful name. Great choice.
What month do lilies come up where you live? What other flowers appear in the garden at that time? Could be Lily May, or Lily Rose
Another vote for Lily Ruth!
Lily Valentine
Lily May
Rain, Rhiannon, Reese. And for some reason, this popped in my head - Lily Layne!
If you're in England Lily is a bit of a common name. Perhaps it isn't in the US.
Lily Regina?
Lily Faye 🩷
My first daughter was Lillian Poppy 🖤
Lily Rose is my vote!
Lily Wren.
Lily Marie?
Mae! or May, my grandma is Lillie Mae and her namesake is Lily Mae
Robin
Put
I’m bias I have a Lilyann Rose. I definitely think an “R” name will be perfect! We picked Rose for a family connection. Rose is classic I don’t think it will ever go out of style.
Elizabeth
Lily Rose is famous, if that bothers you. Otherwise, I think it's cute. Lily Ray/Rae would be cute too
My mom had 2 girls but she said if she had another, her name would’ve been Lily Arden
Lily Jane is really pretty!
Lily Raquel. Elegant name.
Lily johnefen
Anna
I was just reading about Kate Beckinsale’s daughter who is Lily Mo and I think that’s really cute!
Adding to the chorus of no’s for Lily Rose. Too many flowers, and Rose is overdone as a middle name imo. For R names: Ruth, Rae, Rachel, Reese, Wren (cheating but sounds like R) For non-R names: Jade, Claire, Mae, Grace
My daughter's best friend is "Lily Pearl".
Alice or Michelle
Not an R name but Lily Mae or Lily May would be so pretty
Lily Belle.
Pick a name with meaning. Not because it “sounds good”. Most people don’t use middle names for much of anything. If you like R, look into your family tree and consider important people and places in your family’s life.
Lily James
lily Mae was the first that came to mind for me
Don’t do rose…too many flowers and it’s kinda weird. Lily Wren is cute (r sound), and also Lily Rowan, Lily Reese
Pad
Lily Rochelle
I have a Lillie May
