I love the sound of this name, although I'd more likely use something similar to Sarah Lily. Do you think Tigerlily "Lily" is usable? Is it forever linked to Peter Pan (I know Tiger Lily is two words in Peter Pan)?

What do you think of Tigerlily? Can you only imagine it being used in a culture other than your own?

Thankyou! =)

I think it would be pretty for a mn, especially if you wanted to use a more traditional fn.

I think of Michael Hutchence's daughter Tigerlily first. I think she uses Tiger as a nickname.

It is usable, I think. For me it always seems like a GP though.

It might be usable in non-English speaking countries, but, in English-speaking countries, Tigerlily can sound very contrived and tacky. Lily works as a nickname.

I love Tigerlily. There's a lady on another forum I visit who's daughter's name is Tiger-Lily, she goes by Tilly apparently.

I was going to ask if anyone knew a Tigerlily but I forgot to put it in the message. Thanks for the input =)

I do too! But I'd never use it... poor girl would be teased to no end. I prefer Tiger Lily... but, yeah, hahah. I love it! And yes, I think Tiger Lily "Lily" is useable, but if anybody found out her name was really Tiger... well, errr, that might be trouble... I'm just sticking it into my GP folder(:
