HelpRe: Lily
in reply to a message by -=A=-
I've seen people from teenage moms to late life moms use this name.
I'm not picking, but just trying to understand.

Well to me it's a mixture of poor taste, and a want for your child to always sound like a child without considering her place in the adult world.

I disagree
I actually think that Lily can go both ways, and I can see it on women from a tiny child to a woman in her 90's. I think it's sweet, but "sweet" does not mean "unrefined." It's attractive and I know very few Lilys.

Maybe in the backwoods of West Virginia.

Hey, watch it.
I'm from West Virginia, buster. We're not all rednecks and hillbilles. They're more toward Southwestern WV. (*cough*Calhoun County*cough*)
I've only met two Lilys, FYI. One is 9 and one is 60. I don't like it as a full name, but I think Lilith and Lillian are nice, if not names I would use.
ETA: I read your other post. Elizabeth nn Lily is nice as well. :)

LOL. Sorry. I am native Marylander. It's just an expression we use. Meant no offence.

Yeah, I know. [m]
I was born in Maryland and we moved to WV (Eastern Panhandle) when I was four. I live in the more civilized area of the state. The Southwestern part is like a whole different world; it's amazing. They use swinging bridges and they have more unpaved roads than any other place I've seen. It takes forty minutes to get to a store from some places!
