[Opinions] Lily
I started to give a lot of thought to the name Lily lately. I never really cared for it too much (reminds me of funerals), but I've begun to reevaluate it. As far as flowers go I prefer Iris, Rose, or Viola; however I kind of like Lily as a middle name. What do you think of the name Lily?
Anne Lily?
Beatrix Lily?
Diana Lily?
Ellen Lily?
Georgia Lily?
Tabitha Lily?
Anne Lily?
Beatrix Lily?
Diana Lily?
Ellen Lily?
Georgia Lily?
Tabitha Lily?

I have to be honest, I'm completely sick of Lily. It's everywhere like a rash; I just can't see any appeal left in it whatsoever.
Even a couple of years ago before it had been done to death, it was causing a stir on the boards and I didn't see why. It sounds so childish, it's got no strong sounds. I do love Lilian - it's got the grown-up, earthy feel that Lily lacks, while still being sweet and whimsical.
All the combos are fine imo, apart from Anne Lily (no flow) and Ellen Lily (too many L's). I especially like Beatrix Lily. Beatrix is quite harsh sounding and with Lily it balances out nicely.

Georgia Lily is beautiful.
I like Lily a lot, but for some reason I prefer it as a nn for Lilian, Liliana, Lilith, etc. I know it's a flower and a perfectly legit name on its own, it just sounds like a nn to me. That being said, I like Beatrix Lily, Georgia Lily and Tabitha Lily best. I think it works better with a longer first name to balance it out.
