I like that, as a flower name, it feels soft and gentle. But also, the c ending spunkifies it a bit. Not a bad name.

I like it. Like Oriole, there is a delicacy and also a lewdness about it. I don't know where it comes from. But I like that dichotomy. I see Lilac as a "naughty" sort of name, sweet-and-devious. I enjoy that about it.

I don't like the ACK sound at all. I wouldn't use it.

I don't mind it as a middle name. I pronounce it more like 'lye-luck' than 'lye-lack'.

Some flower names work really well, but most are either just duds or flat-out silly. I think Forsythia falls into the dud category, because it isn't something you can easily picture on a milk cow or something. But Daffodil, Lilac and Tiger Lily? All silly. Daffodils are cheery and springlike, but they also smell pretty bad.
Valerie's got a friend at school named Carolina (pronounced the Spanish way) who has a twin sister named Tulipa. Too-LEE-pa. They're from Mexico so I have no idea if Tulipa is popular there or if there's a precedent, and though I can't say I like Tulipa, it does sound a whole lot less flaky than Tulip.

It's a pretty plant, a pretty color, and a nice smell (though when the flowers start to fade they stink) but a silly name. It's not a very attractive sound: Lye-Lack. Ugh.
I once won a silly purple stuffed raccoon at a carnival and the tag said it was named Lilac.

I think it is a horrible, smelly plant that I am allergic to.

I don't mind it, especially for a mn.

I adore Lilac as a middle name.
