What do you think of Lily Rose?
Would use Lily Rose all the time but dislike hyphens.
The name came to me suddenly and sounds really pretty the more I say it.
Look forward to hearing your opinions.

It’s very common, and she will not be introducing herself as the rather twee sounding Lily Rose, hyphen or no hyphen, when she’s a teenager that’s for sure.

OooErMissus · 03/10/2019 01:39

Its fine. Very over-used.

The Rose as the second part of the name is beyond over-used.

I'm sure you can do better.

MyHeartIsBrokeButIHaveSomeGlue · 03/10/2019 01:32

Very common. I know three.

Both perfectly OK names but not very exciting.

And by the way, almost nobody will ever say "Lily Rose" after the first introduction. Everyone will say "Lily" and there are a lot of Lilys about. And very few teenagers would tolerate being called "Lily Rose".

Really boring , common and plain.

Wolfiefan · 02/10/2019 22:28

If you name your child Lily Rose then people won’t use the middle name. They will just say Lily.

aibutohavethisusername · 02/10/2019 22:25

Rose as a first name isn’t actually that common, it is much more popular as a middle name though.

Morado · 02/10/2019 22:13

Painfully boring and predictable I'm afraid..

DramaAlpaca · 02/10/2019 21:57

I like it. Simple & classic. It's flowery but not twee.

SquintEastwood · 02/10/2019 21:55

I like it.

I know 3 - 2 with hyphens and 1 as first/middle name.

Pommes · 02/10/2019 21:53

There's one (with hyphen) in DC's class. It makes me think of a hybrid flower.

Both beautiful names separately.

Boring. Lily and rose are both super common now. Popular common I mean

daisypond · 02/10/2019 21:44

I like both names independently, but together they are too flowery.

historysock · 02/10/2019 21:43

I also have a Lily and I like it.
Most people will shorten it to just lily later on I would think-and in our case Lil (which is what all her friends call her) and you might get comments about having two flower names together but if you like it then it's perfectly fine.

Glacecat · 02/10/2019 21:42

Loads of them about and no one will remember to use both names unless you link them

Fookadook · 02/10/2019 21:41

Massively popular. It’s pretty but every other child is called it.

babysnowman · 02/10/2019 21:35

It does sound ok but I have a double barrel first name myself and don't like it. Both names are nicer individually imo, but I'm biased as I have a Lily!

Are you sure you just haven't hear the many others with the name? If you like it use it.
