HelpRe: Lilac
in reply to a message by queenv
Some flower names work really well, but most are either just duds or flat-out silly. I think Forsythia falls into the dud category, because it isn't something you can easily picture on a milk cow or something. But Daffodil, Lilac and Tiger Lily? All silly. Daffodils are cheery and springlike, but they also smell pretty bad.
Valerie's got a friend at school named Carolina (pronounced the Spanish way) who has a twin sister named Tulipa. Too-LEE-pa. They're from Mexico so I have no idea if Tulipa is popular there or if there's a precedent, and though I can't say I like Tulipa, it does sound a whole lot less flaky than Tulip.
