It sounds like a name that a rockstar would have. Maybe because that some rockstars have / give their children these type of names.
For example: Ginger Baker was ginger and was given the name Ginger.

No. Just no.

I don’t hate it, it’s not the worst name in the world. Would I want to be named Tigerlily though? No, not really. Great for a mn though, super cute for a mn and would spice up a combo easily.

It would be awesome if it was just a flower, but the name is too closely tied to the racist Indian caricatures from Peter Pan. I like Peter Pan and Tigerlily is a cool character despite the racist tropes, but that's probably the first thing people would think of.

Used to be a comic-book character in the UK (and Commonwealth): Rupert the Bear, who was a teddy, had friends of various species and none. Princess Tigerlily was, I think, Native American - I seem to remember fringed clothing and feathers in her hair.Nothing I'd use on a human, therefore.

It's quite ungainly. What about Madonna Lily?

Mehhhh...I don't really like Lily at all, Madonna is very holy but overall very associated with the (great) singer, pretty combo tho

I like the flower, but not the name.

I actually really like this name (it's also one of my favorite flowers) - but the last time I put this out on the polls I got an overwhelmingly negative response to it, which kind of scared me off of using it.There is the Michael Hutchence / Bob Geldof association, but I don't think it's that strong (at least, not in the U.S.; might be a different story for the Australia, New Zealand, U.K., or Ireland).

In the US, it gets an overwhelmingly negative response because it's associated with racism (Peter Pan).I like tiger lilies, too. I think it'd be a cool name otherwise.

Beautiful flower

Pretty garish while also being unimaginative.Stargazer Lily would be more fun. Or Daylily! Aww.

Better than Tinker bell, worse than Wendy. I'd use it as a pseudonym or a stage name, but not as a real name. I don't like Tiger, and see no point in naming someone Tiger Lily and calling them just Lily.

It's too much for me. Just Lily is lovely.

It’s actually one of my faves...not sure I’m brave enough to use it as a first name but definitely would for a middle! It’s my fave flower!!
