Hiya! I am not sure what inconsistencies you are referring to. We try to be pretty consistent with using either her full name "Riliane" or her nickname of "Lily". Either way, answers in order:

1) Yes, her nickname is リリィ (Ririi), which is the Japanese name for "Lily", which also happens to be her representative Vocaloid's name.

2) To quote the trivia: "The nickname is also derived from "lilies", flowers representing beauty, purity, and innocence." This is in reference to "Lily", not her full name, "Riliane".

3) This is where you'd be wrong. The name リリアンヌ (Ririannu) was confirmed by mothy to be officially spelled in English as "Riliane"; this comes from his blog and Epic of Evil's illustrations. The first name for both Riliane Mouchet and Riliane Lucifen d'Autriche is "リリアンヌ".

4) This is true.

Regarding the controversies you are facing, I can't really step in and solve that. I believe these types of things are something each wiki needs to sort out and decide for themselves.

However, here is what our wiki's reasoning is. As pointed out above, both Lily and Princess Riliane's names are identical. The Japanese language can also get away with R-L puns that proper English (and most western) speakers can't, which means we lose the wordplay/pun the original text provides.

However, that doesn't change the factual information provided in-universe for the names. Praeludium is explicit in stating both Lily and Princess Riliane are named after Riliane Roses. Lily also dislikes being called "Riliane" because it immediately associates her with The Daughter of Evil (hence why she goes by the nickname "Lily" instead).

As a result, Riliane "Lily" Mouchet stays true to the story's intentions while also making the necessary Vocaloid reference, all while keeping to mothy's confirmed spelling of リリアンヌ as "Riliane".
