Does this work as a girls name for you? If not a first, maybe as a middle?

Emily Lilac and Chloe Lilac just came to me today.

I think it’s sweet.

Not a fan sorry. I'd go for Lila or violet

Emily Lilac is a bit of a tongue twister, too many 'l' s near each other.

I know lilacs are flowers but honestly it doesn't really appeal as a name. Just the sound of the word. I think of paint shades and fabric conditioner.

There are quite a few nice flower names though.

I personally associate it with the colour rather than the flower, so not something i’d choose.

You know she'll be known as Lil? I wouldn't

I like it as a middle name. It's unusual, but flower names aren't unusual, so it's not weird.

A straight No from me

And I love a lilac tree - it's just not a "name"

I actually really like it! Especially as a middle name

I like Lilac, especially as a middle name. I think it flows nicely with a lot of names, as long as they aren’t too ‘L’ heavy.

So many other botanical names have come back but not this one, if it was ever in fashion. It doesn't massively appeal to me but I can't exactly say why. Is it maybe the c sound as the end? Lila is a nice sound,, but the ac in Lilac makes if feel more abrupt. Bit of a throat hacking sound. Not sure.

I'd maybe stop overthinking this. Lilac is terrible
