Tips

usage
丽莉 is one of several common Chinese transliterations of Lily / Lili (others: 莉莉, 丽丽, 莉莉 for Lillian). Both characters here are female-name workhorses — (beautiful) and (jasmine, from 茉莉 mòlì). Often used by Chinese parents who want a name that sounds Western but reads as elegantly feminine in Chinese.
memory
lì + lì — same pinyin, paired for visual rhythm and double the femininity (beauty + jasmine). Compare 莉莉 — same sound, slightly different feel.
