[Opinions] Re: Tigerlily. Yay or Nay?
in reply to a message by Guest
I am not in the mood today. I associate it with a shallow "exotic" American stereotype of Asianness, or generally an image of "exotic, foreign, wild and delicate and sexay!!" ... it seems very gimmicky ... subtly suggestive and trivializing ... an imagey "marketing"-like name. Suitable for a has-been pop-star's baby. Or a Midwestern restaurant attached to a hotel, or a line of cheap cosmetics aimed at tweens.
Worse than Briar-Rose or Skylark or Calliope or Summer Rain. About as bad as Peaches or Winter Rose or Lexus.

I also dislike that it has the sound of "girlie" in it.- mirfak
