Lilac is the name of a flower/plant I am allergic to. So that makes me hate the name, although I can see why people would think it pretty and usable. I stress the first syllable.Lilac Goldie

I like Lilac. It wouldn't be my go to favorite flower name (more of a Lavender, girl, really).Lie-lack, occassionally Lie-lehck. The stress is on the first syllable.I totally think it is usable, and cute.I would however go with a more traditional middle name, in case my little Lilac wasn't so fond of her name.Lilac Gwendolen

I stress the first syllable, just like in the English word. I do quite like Lilac, especially since I am fond of bold floral names (i.e. Amaryllis, Begonia, Marigold, Petunia, etc). Lilac has the added benefit of having a specific color and scent memory for people, besides being short and recognizable to the general public. It's one of the better flower names in my opinion.I considered using it to honor my grandmother Lila, so, yeah, I think it is usable. Lilac Amabel

I sure wouldn't want to use it or have it as a name. It's sickly sweet, like some kind of perfume that old ladies wear too much of. I love the flower and the smell of it, but in small doses.
LIE-lack, with almost equal stress.

Ooo, I do like your combo. My simple side wants to shorten it to Lilac Estelle, but your combo is quite fetching. Lilac Aurelia is fantasy and Lilac Marisol is so sweet and nature-y, I like them both.
