As Mimosa seems to have got the thumbs down.

love Daphne, very Mitford sisters cool.

Lilac makes me think of a very frail old lady in bloomers, and Daphne a woman from the seventies with big horn-rimmed glasses that likes wife swapping parties.

Any other possibilities?

Really sorry but niether.

Am not liking Mimosa at all, sorry. Daphne doesn't do it for me. I quite like Lilac! Lavender? Violet?

Neither here, Daphne always makes me think of fat Daphne from "The Broons" (ancient Scottish comic strip family) and I'm not keen on the "lac" sound in Lilac.

Sorry.

I like Daphne - but pronounced 'Daphna' Dp's ultra-glamorous, cousin in NY is called Daphne(a) and she loves her name!
