Pat Stokes asked Laura McHugh:

Laura, you chose the name Lila for Lucy’s mother. Is that a name that was in your family? Does it have a special meaning?

Laura McHugh Hi Pam, I often use names that were on my list of potential baby names (names my husband vetoed!). The name Delilah shows up a couple of times in my family tree and I liked the shortened form (Lila). Thanks for your question!
