Has anyone used it? Would it be better as just Tigerlily or Tiger as a first and Lily as a middle. I've recently fallen for this name but I don't know if I'm brave enough to use it. Haven't even mentioned it to DH as I'm still trying to decide how I feel about it.

Reminds me of the old fashioned racism in Disney’s Peter Pan, with Princess Tigerlily and What Makes The Red Man Red Envy < not envy

ErrolTheDragon · 17/05/2020 22:56

How about the actual name is Lily but - if it turns out to suit the child - you could use Tigerlily as a nickname?

amazedmummy · 17/05/2020 22:55

I like it but it's what I called the cat.

DramaAlpaca · 17/05/2020 22:55

Oh dear, no. On a toddler, cute. On an adult woman, just no. I can't imagine trying to carry off a name like that.

mrwalkensir · 17/05/2020 22:55

daughter was at uni with another famous one. OK shortened to Tiger...

macdhui · 17/05/2020 22:52

I love it but definitely Tigerlily

BackforGood · 17/05/2020 22:50

Ridiculous. Why would you do that to a person ?

If you want to be 'brave', change your own name to it. Don't lumber someone else with it.

Great track by Luna but bit hard to actually pull off in real life

LaurieFairyCake · 17/05/2020 22:47

Horrific

Wouldn't call a cat that

Finnemoo · 17/05/2020 22:43

I actually like it but I wouldn’t dare use it. And I don’t think I’d like to be called it either, sorry!

How about Primrose?

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 17/05/2020 22:41

Why would you call a child tiger lily?

MarylandMayhem · 17/05/2020 22:38

How about Zana? It means lilly/graceful lilly.

sawyersfishbiscuits · 17/05/2020 22:32

I have a cat called Tigerlily. She's about 16 and is beautiful! I do actually like the name for a child I think, and there are far far worse names out there... if I had to choose between say Courtney and Tigerlily then it would be Tigerlily hands down.
However, it's a bit out there. It's cute though.

KitchenConfidential · 17/05/2020 22:26

Only if you’re a character in Peter Pan

BikeRunSki · 17/05/2020 22:24

It is the name of my favourite album ever. It’s gorgeous. I’m not sure it’s a person name though.

wildthingsinthenight · 17/05/2020 22:23

Love it

Wewearpinkonwednesdays · 17/05/2020 22:22

Yeah great idea, sure she will love it when she's an adult 🤦

LotusClover · 17/05/2020 22:20

Just no. It's dreadful. Lily on its own is fine, but Tigerlily/Tiger Lily is chavvy, try-hard and pretentious.

timetest · 17/05/2020 21:44

No.

bigchris · 17/05/2020 21:38

Or buy a cat and call it that

bigchris · 17/05/2020 21:38

It's awful

BeingATwatItsABingThing · 17/05/2020 21:37

Don’t be ridiculous! As a PP said, if you want to be yoonique, change your own name!

KindnessCrusader · 17/05/2020 21:35

I like it! I'd use Tigerlily rather than Tiger Lily.
