[Opinions] Rose or Lily?
Replies
I like Lily better. I like it as it's own formal name.
I like Liliana but really don't care for lily
As a fn, I LOVE Lily but it's getting a bit popular lately. :( So Liliana with the nn Lily would be great imo, as she'd have Liliana to "fall back on" so to speak; so she wouldn't be just another Lily. :)
Rose has become such a filler mn lately, BUT I still find it gorgeous either as a fn or mn (though I find it especially refreshing as a fn, or part of a fn like Rosalie, Rosemary, etc.).

Lily is a formal name in itself
Just like Rose. Both are beautiful flowernames. I don't consider Lily as a nn at all (even though it can be used as a nn). Rose is less common but I prefer names with more syllables, so I would choose Lily. Lilian and Liliana are beutiful too.
I also like longer Rose-names, like Rosemary, Rosalie, Rosalind, Rosamond.

Just FYI, I taught a little girl whose name is Lillie Ann (in other words, Lillian). Liliana is pretty, and so are Lilian, Lily and Lilla. For some reason, I'm really drawn to the combo Lilian Isabella, but it's probably too many l's for anyone else. :o) Of couse, Rose (and all the variations) are also very lovely. I don't think you can go wrong with either one.
