[Opinions] Lily
I started to give a lot of thought to the name Lily lately. I never really cared for it too much (reminds me of funerals), but I've begun to reevaluate it. As far as flowers go I prefer Iris, Rose, or Viola; however I kind of like Lily as a middle name. What do you think of the name Lily?Anne Lily?
Beatrix Lily?
Diana Lily?
Ellen Lily?
Georgia Lily?
Tabitha Lily?

I like Lily a lot.Anne Lily is the only one I like, though Anna Lily would flow a bit better. I like Ellen but Ellen Lily is too L-heavy.

I mind Lily less as a middle name. As a first name, it seems to have taken over, and I'm sort of tired of it. I vote for Tabitha Lily. I would love to see a new baby named Tabitha.

I have to be honest, I'm completely sick of Lily. It's everywhere like a rash; I just can't see any appeal left in it whatsoever.Even a couple of years ago before it had been done to death, it was causing a stir on the boards and I didn't see why. It sounds so childish, it's got no strong sounds. I do love Lilian - it's got the grown-up, earthy feel that Lily lacks, while still being sweet and whimsical. All the combos are fine imo, apart from Anne Lily (no flow) and Ellen Lily (too many L's). I especially like Beatrix Lily. Beatrix is quite harsh sounding and with Lily it balances out nicely.

I like it! The other flower names I like are Rose and Violet.
It does have a little bit of a nickname-y feel to it (just because I like Lillian) but it's a legitimate name, and very pretty.
I put this on a list of suggestions for our girl but my DH said no. =o)

I like Lily a lot, but for some reason I prefer it as a nn for Lilian, Liliana, Lilith, etc. I know it's a flower and a perfectly legit name on its own, it just sounds like a nn to me. That being said, I like Beatrix Lily, Georgia Lily and Tabitha Lily best. I think it works better with a longer first name to balance it out.
