Help[Opinions] Re: Lily vs. Rose
in reply to a message by Raya
I think Rose is a better name, partly because it is not a nickname and not just a flower name.
But also because Lily, being a repeated syllable, sounds a little bit cutesy.
Lily's not bad, it's just not better than Rose.

This question always makes me think of the Christina Rossetti poem that begins
The lily has a smooth stalk,
Will never hurt your hand;
But the rose upon her briar
Is lady of the land.
