Nice or terrible?

I loved the Tiger Lily character in Rupert Bear when I was little.

I think it's very pretty. Paula Yates' daughter is Heavenly Hiraani Tigerlily I think. Which is a bit of a mouthful. But Tigerlily on its own is rather lovely. I've met a couple of boys / men named Tiger and Bear is massively on the rise for boys so I don't see a problem with Tigerlily.

MrsGilly1 · 22/10/2019 07:49

Tigerlily for a pet maybe but not a child IMO x

Chocmallows · 21/10/2019 01:22

Don't like it, but love Lilly and Lilliana.

Astronica · 21/10/2019 01:15

I like it but don't think I'd actually use it.

Horrible.

Leflic · 19/10/2019 23:09

Bit try hard and copycat. Everyone will assume your choice is either based on the book or the famous daughter. Neither reflect well on you.
Tiger rose?

VenusClapTrap · 18/10/2019 22:32

I feel like I should hate it, but I secretly like it.

PandasMum · 18/10/2019 19:57

Bloody ridiculous I really hope you are a journalist

Petrichor11 · 18/10/2019 19:55

Horrendous

Naomimi · 18/10/2019 19:06

I love it, but I’m kind of embarrassed to admit that Grin

Tiggy/Tig is adorable!

BethanyGilbert · 18/10/2019 18:58

I love it. I used to teach one. They would shorten it to Tigs.

LouiseLouisa87 · 18/10/2019 18:43

Sweet for a newborn but can you imagine a teacher or a lawyer or a doctor called Tigerlily?
Yep. And funnily enough, people aren’t accepted onto degree programs based on their names....

LouiseLouisa87 · 18/10/2019 18:41

I LOVE it

user1493494961 · 18/10/2019 18:40

Dreadful. Change your name to Tigerlily if you like it so much.

LittleLongDog · 18/10/2019 17:43

@Aprillygirl or maybe she chose it for the plant or Peter Pan or just because she likes it?

Are we only allowed one of every name now?

Ineedtochillthehellout · 18/10/2019 15:14

I love it ! Considered it 18 years ago for dd but bottled out.

HalfManHalfLabrador · 18/10/2019 15:09

I really like it

WhittlingIhopMonkey · 18/10/2019 15:08

It's not a serious name it's a cartoon name. I wouldnt.

Ihateedmundelephant · 18/10/2019 14:05

It’s kind of amazing? Which is something I’m really surprised to say! I love Peter Pan and watched it every day as a child so maybe this is influencing my decision but I secretly think Tigerlily is incredible. I’d never use it though, I’m nowhere near cool enough. Are you? I think you’d have to be pretty cool to be able to pull off naming your daughter this!

RainWoman19 · 18/10/2019 13:42

Love it!

imclaustrophobicdarren · 18/10/2019 13:29

Think I may need to watch Peter Pan 🤯

Shelvesoutofbooks · 18/10/2019 13:12

It's awful. Don't do it OP

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 18/10/2019 13:02

Was they the dog in Rupert the Bear?
