HelpRe: Rose, Violet, and Lily
in reply to a message by mirfak
For me:
Rose
Violet
Lily
(I don't fit Lily, I think Violet is the best name of these three but I couldn't pull it off, Rose is the one that would fit me best)
For a baby:
Lily
Violet
Rose
(Lily is the most young and sweet of these, so it feels more fitting for a baby. I think Violet is the best of the names but also the least versatile, and if I was naming a real baby I might be bothered by the similarity to 'violent'. Rose is a good middle name for a long first name but it's a bit frumpy as a first name by itself. Lily is overused but I'd have reasons to reference lily-of-the-valley in my baby's name if I wanted to.)
For a coworker or housemate:
Rose
Lily
Violet
(Rose sounds the most mature, she has her shit together and is dependable and also approachable. Rose is the mom friend. Lily is also approachable, but the youngest and least mature. If Lily was someone I couldn't relate to, we could just coexist without talking much but without forming any bad opinions of each other. Violet sounds more like someone cool who I'd admire from afar, but feels a lot less approachable than the others. Violet would have impeccable hair and fashion, intense personality, and would be very dramatic and make things feel awkward if we didn't get along or relate for some reason. I imagine Violet and Lily would both have relationship drama or other drama come up, but Rose would be over it and seem a lot older even if she was the same age as the others. Rose would be the most practical and Lily would be the least. The order of Violet and Lily could change; Violet would be more interesting and greater payoff if we got along, but Lily would be lower-risk.)
Rose: red
Lily: white
Rose: As a romantic symbol it feels overdone, garish, and consumerist, but I do like the flowers/plants themselves and I also think of them as symbolizing resilience and balance (the bush is woody and thorny and looks completely dead in the winter but it grows back and produces beautiful flowers.
Lily: Frail beauty, elegant and ephemeral, soft, floaty. Air and water.
Violet: The plant itself seems delicate but the color is vibrant, strong, and royal.
