Help[Opinions] Tigerlily
Wdyto Tigerlily for a girl? I used to think I'd never use it, but lately my names have got more eccentric.
I like it best spelt as one word, since hyphens look messy to me, and Tiger Lily looks unbalanced when you separate. I might use Tiger as a short form, though not all the time.
Any mn suggestions? I was thinking ...
Tigerlily Bethan
Tigerlily Brogan (ancestral surname - but the girly / harsh contrast might be too much)
Tigerlily Charis
Tigerlily Sasha (my fave I think)
Tigerlily Shona
It's hard ... It needs something a bit different, but not weird, since Tigerlily's odd enough already.

I really like it! It's a very different name, but it's also very pretty. Tigerlily Sasha is my fave combo too, it's lovely.

I think it's a bad idea.
I like names with meanings that are not quite so obvious. It just seems a bit unsophisticated, kind of like a striper's name.

Although I like flower names, this is perhaps a bit much, from a realistic perspective.
Can you picture an attorney named Tigerlily? A stockbroker? A mayor? A surgeon?
But perhaps a yoga instructor, a spa attendant, a designer of fashion accessories, or an art student?
I think it's prone to typecasting.

I played Tigerlily in our third grade play of Peter Pan so I've always had a soft spot for the name! :) That said, I honestly can't picture it on a real person. Oh, I guess except for Michael Hutchence's daughter (who they call Tiger)! It's pretty, just maybe a bit too much. Although if you call her Lily that would be sweet.

It was my favorite name wehn I was 5
I used to want to be called it but I was addicted to peterpan then, It sounds like a pets name. I dont want to get nasty but that is not right as a name.
Dell: He's just a kid, Hes probably more frightened of us than we are of him
Rodney: Aww Bless him.
Only fools and horses

I like it in theory but could never use it

The truth is, I have met the right person, only he's not in love with me, and until I stop loving him no-one else stands a chance

In theory, I can see it--perhaps because lilies are some of my favourite flowers, and tigerlilies are among my favourites of the lily family--but in practice, she'd have to be the right sort of person to make it work. I don't like Tiger Lily so well, but perhaps Tiger-Lily would work. Tigerlily does its job pretty adequately.
Tigerlily Bethan is my favourite of your list. I'll try and come up with some combos for you in a bit (when I'm not so tired!). Whenever I think of you, though, I think of Harper, and so Tigerlily Harper sprung to mind immediately--I suppose in the same way that if I'd asked about the name, Tigerlily Rae would've been one of the first suggestions. ;)

I've seen the needle and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's like a settin' sun.

Tigerlily is cute! I think a one syllable middle name may sound best with it. Tigerlily Maeve is the first thing to come to mind right now.

I love it!
Although I do prefer Tiger Lily. When I was little I was always going to have a baby girl named Tiger Lily, and all my dolls were named it. I'm suprised I still like it and yes, I would actually use it. I have really put a middle name together because I haven't found one I actually like together with it.
Some on the top of my head:
Tigerlily Adele
Tigerlily Susannah
