Re: Lily
in reply to a message by behindthename fan
Not where I live. In fact, I can't think of any where I live!
As a name, I'm not keen on it. Lilies are magnificent flowers IRL, but they seem to have a colourless, droopy image that doesn't sit well with me as a name. I prefer more upright, perky flower names like Daisy and Iris. Lily also seems seriously dated - back to the 1890s. Lilian goes back to the 1930s, which isn't much better.
