What about Rosalie as first name with a different middle name? Have to admit I don't like lily at all and it is very common at the moment

to much for my taste but I do like Rosa as a name Lily has just got to used for my liking.

What about Rosalia?

i think Rosa Lilian flows better.

or perhaps Lily Rose/a

I don't think Rosa is that common to be honest. I only know 1 Rosa and she will be a teenager now.

What if she is a great galumphing tomboy?

Rosa is very much now and faddy. And trying-to-be-different-to-Rose.

Lily is just a default name. (think May and Rose, although Rose as a first name is sadly underused)

I like Rose as a first name, very much. But wouldn't put it with another flower name, and especially not Lily which (apart from being ubiquitous) sounds drippy.

Beautiful. I like Lily Rose too...

Ye Shepherds tell me, tell me have you seen, have you seen my Flora pass this way? In shape and feature beauty?s queen. In pastoral, in pastoral array.

Shepherds tell me, tell me have you seen, have you seen my Flora pass this way? Have you seen, tell me Shepherds have you seen, tell me have you seen my Flora pass this way.

A wreath around her head, around her head she wore carnation, lily, lily, rose ; and in her hand a crook she bore, and sweets her breath compose.

Shepherds tell me, tell me have you seen, have you seen my Flora pass this way? Have you seen, tell me Shepherds have you seen, tell me have you seen my Flora pass this way.

The beauteous, the beauteous wreath that decks, that decks her head, forms her description, her description true. Hands lily white, lips crimson red, and cheeks of rosy, rosy hue. - Joseph Mazzinghi (1765-1844)

I'd probably say, one name not both, not that they aren't lovely.

Maybe Rosa Lillian or Rosa Lilah instead?

I think two floral names together is a bit much, sorry.

It's nice.

Every other girls has one of those names, either first or middle, so it's not unusual. Feminine, girly names have been very popular for a while now.
