I think it has quite a fun sound. It's certainly a lot fresher than Lily, but it's not something I'd use irl.

I looooooooooooooove Zinnia! I forgot that I loved it, but it did make it in to my top 10 a couple months ago before I realized how it'd be pronounced in Spain :o/

I much prefer Zinnia to Lily.

I love Lily!

---

Zinnia is nmsaa

I love it, but mostly in theory.

I prefer Zinnia to Lily, but I think Lily would be an easier name to live with.

I'm a big fan of Zinnia:-)
While I do like Lily, Zinnia is not as popular and the repetitive lee-lee sound (same with Coco, Lala, Nana, etc.) makes Lily childish and nicknamey for me, so my choice is Zinnia.

I like it a lot! And I think it is a million times better than Lily. (no exaggeration here!)

Zinnia is a thousand times better than Lily, imo. Lily is going to keep climbing the popularity charts until it's in the top ten. Plus it's just not a strong sounding name, which is generally (but not always) what I prefer in both male and female names.

Zinnia on the other hand has that nice mix of hard and soft sounds. (I really love the z or x sound in names.) It's a flower name with pizazz. :)

Edited to add: By strong sounding, I mean to have a harsher, stronger sound or syllable in the name. Example: Names like Zipporah, Eve, Xanthe, Matilda, Beatrix, etc...
