Too pale, too sweet, too droopy, too well suited to funeral decor. I can't even summon up the energy to dislike it. And Violet is much the same. OK, violets tend not to be pale and don't get much exercise at funerals, but the general vibe is the same: uberfeminine in the old-fashioned way - meekly submissive.

Granted, I do have a Lilli friend who doesn't fit the stereotype at all, but in her case it's a nn for Elizabeth going back to earliest childhood when her elder siblings couldn't pronounce the real thing.
