Tigerlily

[daffodildream]

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.

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.

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

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

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

It’s awesome but a big name to pull off. I don’t think I would suit it, for example!

I honestly love it but I like weird hippy names so

nah. Just Lily is nice though.

I know a Tigerlily, who goes by Tiggy, and it suits her down to the ground!

Yes, I only think of Peter Pan. Maybe people will just assume you are a racist.

It's a cat's name. Nope

My 17 year old dog is called Tigerlily, and I know of five other animals called it too, so no

How about 'Myparentshavenopostcompulsoryeducation'?

That's a nice name.

It’s a beautiful name. All one word.

Poor kid. Naming a child isn't about showing the world how clever you are.

I love it! :)

I LOVE THIS NAME

I know a Tigerlily. She gets called Tiger, has done all her life!
Truthfully I’m not a huge fan!
However your baby your choice.

Love it.

I love the name because it was my nick name as a kid but there is no way in a million years I'd lumber a kid with that name.

How about Ziggy.

Why don't you try introducing yourself to strangers as Tigerlily for a few months and see how you feel. Please don't lumber that onto a kid. Or Tiger.

Another one who it reminds of Peter Pan and its racism!

I'm sorry if this sounds rude but to me it sounds like something you'd name your cart or dog, not your child

I’m very liberal but it would be a bit out there for me personally, I don’t like to judge but unfortunately people do and i think it would be very difficult to pull off, particularly as an adult. Perhaps a middle name?

exactly this

Just no!

Well it's a flower name (though not as one word) I don't see why Tiger Lily should be thought more outlandish than Rose, Violet or Daisy really.
