Lilupar is Persian (i'm fairly sure). I have an Indian girlfriend named Lilupar (she's nn'd Lila). I think it's GORGEOUS but don't have the right ethnicity. It means "water lily".
I pronounce Lettice as let-EES but it's definitely not said that way by anyone surrounding me, so on this list it stays.
I never thought about Vera for Vermilion. Maybe I'll work it in as a middle somewhere.
Floretina is little flower, yes. My girlfriends and I had a running joke about St. Little Flower when we were in grammar school, this name came out of that joke but because of that joke, here it stays.
I have Ghislaine in a combo as a second middle: Cecilia Maud Ghislaine but no one else seems to like it. My Grandmother (Cecilia) Great Grandmother (Maud) and Great Great Grandmother (Ghislaine) are all honored and I may very well use it.
The others just strike me as a bit OTT, but I love them just the same. So here they sit, maybe my boys will use them for my grandkids in a few years. (I am significantly older than most on this board).
