I know amaryllis is a flower, but I don't know what those flowers look like. I hate to admit to being so ignorant. But at least my opinion of the flower can't influence my opinion of the name. I don't really care for Amaryllis as a name. I think it's awkward. I can't imagine having to say "Amaryllis" as often as you would have to if you were friends with or related to someone with that name. It just doesn't trip off the tongue. If it were shortened to "Ammie" it might be workable. I've heard of "Ammie" as a nickname for Amanda.
