I dislike it, it sounds feeble and lily-livered.

I love the flower, but it doesn’t really sound like a name to me.

It's a name I started liking suddenly, this year. For that reason, I wonder if it's getting more popular, or if it's just that similar names are, and it's the offbeat alternative.

I have some magical/evocative associations with lilacs, but before now, I didn't appreciate the sound much.

I like when the lac is pronounced like the first syllable in Lakshmi.

I love the flower, but I don't like the sound as a name, not with that hard c at the end. I do like MasterCiaraXo's suggestion of using it as a middle name. For a first name, I'd much prefer Lila.

I don't like it. The image is great, but it sounds harsh, almost snippy, to me when it's said out loud as a name. Not namey enough.
Lila (lee-la) meaning lilac is better imo.

I'm growing to like Lilac. Hey, it's Lila+c, but Lilac is quirkier and I like it.

The flower is nice, the scent is nice, the color is nice.
But the sound of the name is not nice. Lie lack.

One of my favourites. It's sweet, and very pleasing to the ear. There's some lovely imagery, and I like that it's unusual but still familiar via names like Lila and Lily.

Love it

Hi!!!

I like Lilac.
I rate it 8/10.
I love its meaning, its exotic sound and the calm vibe around it.

I also like the Italian form Lillà.

Lilac gives me life. It's in the cluster of my top favorite flower names along with Lavender and Violet. Rose and Lily are nice but overused. Lilac as a similar energy without being overdone.

Pretty. As a middle name.
