Lilac

[CharlottesForest]

Today I met a gorgeous little girl named Lilac. I'm wondering what you think of it? I can't stop thinking about the name!

I think its lovely! Ive never heard of anyone called that name but i suppose it does make sense as a name in the same vein as Lavender, Willow or even colour names like Mauve or Cerise.

I like it but sounds too much like Lyla and you'd be forever correcting people.

This was suggested to me for ds. I found it strangely enchanting!

I quite like it; it sounds very sweet.

I think it's lovely in theory but a bit ridiculous in reality. Part of that probably falls down to the fact that I'd never have the guts to call a DC that. Fair play to her parents

I have it on my list, but it's too many L's with our last name

I think it would be very difficult to live with. Constantly mistaken for Lila/Lyla/Lilah.

Lovely for a book character, not for a real life person.

I quite like it, but suspect a lot of people would consider it rather twee.

I really like it. But I also love Lavender, Marigold, Dahlia, Pansy (I know really not possible, nowadays!), Iris and other flower names...

It's awful

It's ok, a bit hippy maybe and I agree that there are so many Lily/Lyla/Leila type names around at the moment that it would probably be misheard quite a lot.

Gorgeous!

It's VERY twee. And I love an unusual flower name.

Gorgeous

Twee? Really? ALL flower names are about the same on the twee scale, aren't they?

I like it!

I don't think it is twee at all, I quite like it although it is quite a 'hard' sound which stops it being twee.

I've always wanted Violet for a girl, not so sure about Lilac myself.
I had a boy and named my dog Violet😂 so will be stuck if I do eventually have anymore😂

I love it. Had a pet rabbit called Lilac when my dds were small, but always thought the name was too good for a rabbit!

Prefer Lila / Lilah tbh

This was on my list. I love it - I think you do have to have a bit of nerve though. But it is creeping up the popular name charts.

It's lovely!

Awful
