and 3 rarer spellings.

About 1 girl in 227 born in 2025 was given one of these spellings — against 1 in 178,585 for Lillah itself.

Spellings are grouped by a fixed rule that folds interchangeable English spellings of one sound (ck/k, ph/f, x/ks, a non-initial y for i) and keeps vowels apart, so Sean and Shawn stay separate names. It errs towards splitting: a family here is never larger than the truth. SSA national data, 2025. Method
