Help[Opinions] Tigerlily
I've liked Tigerlily for a long time. I really like it more now, I picked a MN for her Tigerlily Rose. Her NN could be Tiger or Lily.
I am hesitant to use it though becuase I don't think it would age well ,but who knows. People use Poppy, and I think that doesn't grow well at all, it's cute but too cutesy although it's on adults.
So WDYT of Tigerlily?

Dan - "Oh really? Pumpkin, I'm so glad you think i'm a fun guy!"
Noah, 4 - "No! Dad! I like fungi! you know mushrooms!".

I like it, it has snap
She could always go by the simpler Lily if she felt she was not being taken seriously as an adult.

Tigerlily is too contrived; it has an air of "Oh, I'm such a nature girl...aside from the part where I'm a soccer mom," to it, IMO. Much as I love the flower (lilies in general are my favourites), I don't think it makes an appropriate name for a child. A nickname, sure, but Tigerlily Rose makes me cringe.
I wouldn't say no to Stargazer as a middle name, though; I think stargazer lilies smell absolutely glorious. I'd also be all right with Lily-of-the-valley, but once again, as a middle name. ;)

A revolution without dancing is a revolution not worth having.

Well in my opinion its the sort of name only a celebrity child could get away with and two flower names together is a bit too much.

I like Tigerlily but Tigerlily Rose is toooo many flowers.

I really like it! Maybe not paired with Rose... too flowery. Tigerlily Rose has a very nice sound, but it is two flowers, so it seems a bit too nature-y. But with a different middle name, it'd be awesome.

Much too much.
Much too... ridiculous, I'd have to say. It's something that celebrities inflict on their children, IMO, and can only get away from it because their children are going to grow up rich with a famous mother and/or father.
Plant or flower or tree names aren't across teh board silly to me. Lily, I respect. Rose, I like. Lilac, Lavender, Laurel, Iris, Fern, and whatever else all sit well with me, too. Even something less usual like Trillium, Marigold, Osmunda, Hyacinth and so on I could take. But Tigerlily is just... too much. Maybe it's on account of it having "tiger" in it; you're not naming a girl after only a flower but also giving her a connection to an animal.
The abolition of religion as the illusory happiness of the people is the demand for their real happiness.
To call on them to give up their illusions about their condition is to call on them to give up a condition that requires illusions.
