It could be, though I don’t see anyone here saying that it couldn’t be that way.
Lilly is a legit spelling of the flower’s name. I looked it up (and concurrent to this posting @Urben updated his post to include the details as well) It’s not as common, but it is a real thing. Kind of like how color can also be spelled colour, but one is more popular than the other.
We get it; on the PS4 version, they spelled it the more common way, with one L. That’s the typo in this case, because IOI clearly favors the two L spelling, since that’s how it’s spelled literally everywhere else associated with the game.
You’re correct that there’s a typo, you’re incorrect that it’s the two L version and that that version doesn’t mean anything. Discussion over.

People seem to take the number of instances as evidence that the uncommon spelling is intentional. It’s the logical assumption to make. Just saying that other assumptions aren’t too far fetched.

Ok, so I just used the Ducky Gun after unlocking it, and it sounds nothing at all like a duck. Sounds like a slightly louder suppressed pistol.
Think there will be a Ducky briefcase in the future?

Would love to see a duck briefcase.
I’m also hoping for an ICA19 Ducky silenced pistol. I like the two duck guns we have but 99% of the time I’m not using full auto pistols or the concealable ones with limited ammo so would be nice to get a Duck gun for regular use.
Will it be shaped like a duck or just a duck design? 
Either one. I’m not even asking for there to be one, I’m just wondering if there will be considering all the “Ducky” stuff they’ve been putting out lately, and what’s still to come according to the leaks. It would make sense (in whatever sense all this “Ducky” stuff makes any sense) to have a briefcase themed around it, right?
In “Breaking Bad”, It wasn’t “Lilly of the Valley”. It was “Lily of the Valley”. Typo there by Vince Gilligan and the whole production team?

Read the post you’re making this reply to again, more carefully this time. The answer is there.

Not sure why Wikipedia says that and then doesn’t have a valid citation for where they got that info!? I thought that was against their OWN rules. 
Anyways, the word “Lily” comes from the Latin word “Lilium” which comes from the greek word “Lerion” which comes from the Egyptian word “Hereret”.
Would love to see any evidence that shows “Lilly” with double L’s being used in any ancient language before that. Because I can"t find a single instance of it except in modern, stylized variations of girl’s names (Lilly or Lilliya instead of the traditional Lily).
It’s “Lily” on Xbox (Hitman 3) as well. 
So here’s the thing, this debate is kinda pointless without knowing ioi’s intent.
If they meant to name the gun EXACTLY like the name of the flower, then it"s misspelled.
If they were simply giving the gun a stylized name, then it’s spelled correctly.
Because you can name stuff whatever you want. And you can spell that name however you want. Only becomes a problem when you’re trying to name something exactly how it’s spelled, and you fuck up.
Hopefully this helps.

Wikipedia is not what I used to find that information.
Whether it’s being used that way in ancient times or not is irrelevant to this case, which is addressing how it’s being used now. Spellings and pronunciations change as languages change. Folks seem to be skipping over a key part of my post, so imma quote myself here so that maybe it’ll be seen this time.
Not sure which version you’re using, but unless IOI changed it without my noticing, it’s spelled with the double L when I’ve played it, which is why I’ve spelled it that way when referring to it in the past.
Color and colour is a bad example because Americans changed the spelling (of most words like that with an extra, silent “U”) to reflect how it sounds. But most other countries STILL use that spelling. That"s why both are accepted.
No current or past language has ever used the spelling “Lilly” to refer to the flower.
If you or anyone else can provide some proof, I’d be interested in checking it out.
*EDIT
Xbox Game Version: 3.110.0
It’s “ICA19 Black Lily”.
It seems today the female name “Lilly” is comparable popular as “Lily” in Denmark where IO’s main studio is located at. I lack the language skills to find out if it is even more popular. Possibly there is no Lily working in IO but one Lilly and because they talk to her daily, the spelling with two L’s is more present to them.

Is she Black though? Asking for a friend.
Not relevant to the fact that it’s a thing. You even said at the end there that both are accepted, so I don’t know what point you’re trying to make. The reason why it’s different doesn’t matter; both spellings exist and are accepted and used. Same for Lilly.
Then they’ve changed it.
I laughed tho

“Colour” is the original word. In America we changed it. BUT… “Colour” is still widely used to this day outside of America.
No country in the world currently uses or has ever used “Lilly” when talking about the flower. You keep saying it’s a thing. I keep asking for proof and haven’t gotten any except for a link to Wikipedia that had no citation of where they got that idea.You said you didn’t use that as a basis… but never offered proof either.
It’s not a thing. People in modern times stylizing names for a child doesn’t magically make those spellings correct.
“Daisy” is a flower too. That’s the correct spelling.
“Dazey” is a surname. “Crazee Dayzee” is a flower enemy in Super Mario games.
NEITHER or those would be correct spellings when referring to the flower.
