HelpRe: Rose, Violet, and Lily
in reply to a message by mirfak
I love the name Violet most, but I don't think I'd be a good Violet. Viola, yes. Violet, no. If I had to pick one of the 3 exactly as presented, I'd go with Lily.
I'd name a kid Violet for sure. Maybe she'd fit the name better than I would!
I'm like to meet more Violets and Lilys, so I'd rather have coworkers named those. I've worked with Roses before and they are all kind of obstinate and not my kind of person.
The rose I'm picturing is light pink (my favourite type of rose). The lily is orange, like a tiger lily.
I do see flowers as very symbolic, I love that kind thing.
Roses: love, romance, luxury, diva behaviour, celebration of abundance (getting roses is A Big Deal to someone like me. They are expensive, especially the real nice ones)
Lilies: It depends on the lily type, but for me, I think of elegance for calla lilies, "Zest for life" with tiger lilies or stargazer lilies, and delicate youth for lilies of the valley. I don't associate lilies with funerals although I know that's traditional.
Violets: You know, I'm not entirely sure I even know what a violet is. Haha! That's sad. I looked up a picture and that is absolutely not what I thought they looked like. I think I mix them up with pansies. Well, anyway, Violets always make me think of humility, simplicity, and sweetness.
