Lily and Tulip as sibilings??

[LiaBloom231]

We already have a daughter, Lily and we are expecting another baby girl! we love floral names and have been thinking of Tulip, but we aren't sure if it's too weird since not many kids are named Tulip (we are also afraid she'll get picked on). What do you think? We were also thinking of names like Lavender, Hazel, Holly and Daisy.

I've never heard of Tulip as a name. I think Tulip and Holly perhaps are too close in sound to Lily. Hazel is pretty and less obviously floral?

Personally I think it's a stupid name, but others will love it.

It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

I've never heard of it as a name either but I love it! Lavender is lovely too! Primrose is another nice florally name

Daisy is v cute. Tulip, not so much

Iris and Lily go together nicely.

I love it. Just say it a million times and see how you feel. Do you mind people thinking it's odd?

Isn't tulip slang for idiot?

Another vote for iris and lily. Daisy is a lovely name too. If you are really asking for an opinion tulip is just terrible

What about Iris?

Or Primrose?

I

Favourite suggestion on here is Iris.

Sorry! I was going to say that Tulip can be slang for idiot too. “Don’t do that you Tulip!”

Lily is floral but elegant and classic. Tulip is quirky but a bit twee and not very pretty sounding to my ears. They are very different types of names to me. I really dislike Lavender.

Daisy, Iris, Hazel, Marguerite, Rose, Ivy, Briar, Heather, Tansy, Violet are all prettier and go much better with Lily, in my opinion.

I read your initial post as Turnip - this may happen with others!

Hyacinth
Rose
Angelica
Poppy
Ivy
Iris
Petunia
Delphine

What about Heather or Fern? Lily is lovely. I like Hazel too.

I don’t think tulip really works as a name personally or Lavender. It depends how much you care what people think.

Hazel, Holly and Daisy are lovely. How do you feel about Heather?

I think it's lovely.

There is a reporter called Tulip can't remember if it's a regional or national channel. She looks mid-twenties and it really suits her. I can't say I batted an eyelid when I heard her name, I just vaguely thought it was unusual.

Hazel, Holly, Violet, Delphine, Rose and Daisy are lovely.
Absolutely adore Iris.
Sorry, I think Tulip is too 'out there' and would fear for her at secondary school (two lips) meant rudely. Kids can be cruel

Tulip Mazundar, I think it is, @stickygotstuck - she’s on the BBC.

The only place I have seen Tulip as a name was in a Terry Pratchett book, where one of the villains is Mr Tulip.

Oh god I read that as Lily and turnip 😂😂😂

Although they are clearly both floral names, Lily is very, very popular and Tulip is very obscure. I'm personally not a fan of it, mostly as it can be slang for idiot (as previous posters have commented).

Lily and Daisy, or Lily and Rose, or Lily and Holly, are a little twee but they won't always be introduced together.

Other non-floral suggestions that I'd expect a sister to Lily to be named:

Ella
Grace
Mia
Ava

There are so many beautiful floral names to choose from, and tulip isn't one of them.

God no
