I don't know anyone with the name Lily, but I do know a Rose (her full name is Rosalie and she gets called either Rose or Rosie). She's my maternal grandmother's younger sister and quite a loud person and a real go-getter, even though she's in her 60's now! Both names a lovely and I'd have a hard time choosing between the two myself, but I'd probably be more inclined to go with Lily, since no one in the family has that name. That said, Lily is very popular right now for a fn and Rose is very popular as a mn, so it would be lovely to see Rose as a fn for a little girl. I also love Rosie as the nn for Rose, it's so sweet. All in all, my vote goes to Rose.
