I rather like Lilac as a first name. What do you think of it? Would you mind giving me suggestions for a middle name?

Thanks!

I love Lilac...

Lilacs are my favorite, they remind me of playing in my grandmother's lilac garden as a small child.

I think Lilac Adele is possible one of the prettiest name combos I've ever heard. The imagery is just gorgeous!

I love it! Its almost my name but a little cooler. Lilac May immediately comes to mind as very pretty

I adore it as FN or MN.

Lilac Spring comes to mind

Awww, but Sabrina, if I use Spring as a middle name I can't use it as a first name! ;)

I have to get your opinion on Winter. What do you think of it as a first name on a girl? Also, WDYT of a potential sisterset consisting of Honey, Sunday, Lilac, and Winter. I'd be interested in your thoughts.

What do you think of it as a first name on a girl? I love Winter on either gender as a first or middle name. Winter is one of my favorite seaons :). I too have it on my list:

WDYT of a potential sisterset consisting of Honey, Sunday, Lilac, and Winter. I'd love to meet sisters with those names, though I admit I prefer Sunday on a boy myself (on my boysl ist). Honey is cute, and I love Lilac and Winter.

How about Lilac Summer, Lilac June, Lilac Rose, Lilac Breeze, Lilac Stream, Lilac Rosemary, Lilac Rune, Lilac Sage, Lilac Autumn, Lilac Moon, Lilac Fair, Lilac Summerfair, Lilac Blossom, Lilac Sunrise, Lilac Gardenia, Lilac Opal, Lilac Briar, Lilac Sun, Lilac Azura, Lilac Mint, Lilac Marigold, Lilac Magnolia, Lilac Butterfly, Lilac Juniper, Lilac Forest, Lilac Fern, Lilac Angel, Lilac Earth / Eartha.

I tried for normal names but well all came out "unusual" lol.

Ooo, Lilac Sunrise! Very nice. Hmmmm, Breeze is interesting. I never thought about it as a name, but a nice breeze does have comforting connotations.

I LOVE Magnolia. I met someone named Magnolia May (and she was under 25!) at work the other day and had to fan myself.

Thanks for the list!

Lilac Adele
Lilac Sofia
Lilac Ariana
Lilac Aurora
Lilac Ella
Lilac Susannah
Lilac Alicia
Lilac .... ok I'm really tired and don't have my spreadsheet up, but I'll think of more later x

I agree with Bear, Lilac Adele...sounds like lilac petals. Lovely imagery.

Sofia Lilac was a favorite combo once upon a time. I might have to revisit that.

Lilac Ariane, as opposed to Ariana, is something to think about. Intriguing.

Lilac Aurora - LOVE.

Thank you!

Lilac Adele is a very beautiful combination. In a subliminal way, it's bringing me images of lilac petals. Charming. :-)

Oh Lilac Myfanwy is gold! As is Lilac Angharad (Oooooh How Green Was My Valley is so close to my heart as is Maureen O'Hara!)

Lilac Isolde is breathtakingly, hauntingly beautiful. Lilac Isotta takes a mysterious turn. Isotta is just lovely.

Lilac Nolwenn is interesting. Nolwenn...Nolwenn, Nolwenn, Nolwenn... I just want to see that some more. ;) I like!

Lilac Miranda is dramatic. Me like!

Funnily enough, I went to high school with a girl named Chenoa. I was always intrigued with her name. :)

Thank you!

I love Lilac! My number one combo for a while has been Lilac Josephine, but I also like Lilac Ada, Lilac Eseld, Lilac Claudia, Lilac Emmanuelle, and Lilac Odelia.

Lilac Eseld is beautiful. I thought about Lilac Isolde because it just seems so breathtaking that it's untouchable. Eseld brings it down to Earth and reachable.
