Best Answer

It is not Lilly or lily is either a name in itself ( Lily Pons, for example) or a diminutive of Lillian, long a popular handle for singers such as Lillian Russell, Lillian Nordica, etc. Amy and Milly (loosely the latter) are nicknames for Amelia, in French it is Amelie, pronounced (Ah-Meel-ee).

Better Answer:

My Name's Amelia but everyone calls me Millie. Amy is not a nickname for Amelia, Amy is a name by itself and is not shortened for anything.

"Lillie" is not typically considered a nickname for "Amelia" as they are different names. It is possible that someone chose to use this nickname creatively or for personal reasons, but it is not a common or traditional diminutive for the name "Amelia."
