Hi all,
Was reading the birth column in our local paper yesterday and came across a newborn baby girl named " LILAC " ;)
I'm not sure if it sounds like a pretty name or of a harder sounding name ... for some reason i'm swinging towards more pretty (i think) !!
Can't say i would use it myself but was curious to know your thoughts on this name ... And has anyone ever come across ' first names ' the same as a colour ?? :rolleyes:
Cheers from a bit of an unusual name lover xox
hmmm nah, it just sounds wrong as a child name to me.
Not a fan of it either..
Ive met a Magenta
makes me think of the song 'lilac wine' which I love.
Not sure on it for a name, but I do love Lila.
I saw a Velvet once..mmm i think she lives near you too.
I actually don't mind it. I think it is pretty and I am a fan of pretty names :D
Yeah, there used to be a nurse at my work called Lilac. She wasn't very popular.
I've met a Golden and a Silver (both girls) and a Midori (Japanese for green) I'm sure there's been more.
nah sorry.. not a fan here...
Truthfully, I think it's a bit wishy-washy. I'm sorry...
I too actually don't mind it...but could never use it myself (cause I'm a big fan of purple, so it would be a little weird and I would get lots of strange comments I'm sure).
I knew a lady once who's daughters name was Amethyst and I also knew a girl call Onyx too....both I also think sound ok.
hmmmmmmm................ dunno...........
I think I kind of like it. It's missing something.
A boy was born near me recently and his middle name is Anzac.
I like it as a colour but dont think I could name my child Lilac
Personally I think the letter 'c' on the end makes it sound a bit hard. I much prefer Lila/Lilah.
As for colour names- there was that guy on Australian Idol named 'Teal' (my fave colour), and there are many Jade's out there!!
um nah... i agree with jellybean...
Well here I go..against the grain as usual
I LOVE IT!!!!!!
It was on our Short list for girl names for Mateauz. I would have had a Vyolett and a Lillak (we just spelt it a bit different) :ROFL: so we thought Khryztel was better...doesnt matter cause we ended up with the franks
But yes I LOVE the name
I love it too. :thumbsup: I think it's lovely, and I think the hard 'c' on the end actually makes it a really good name for an adult, a bit grown up sounding, but the 'i' sound softens it. I think it's cool.
mmm not sure...reminds me of celiac (someone whos gluten intolerant i think??)
we are gonna call our girl Jade even though i hate green lol
and ive met an ebony
Dont mind Lilac!
I love Cerise :)
I've met a Cerise, and obviously heaps of Jades (Jaide, Jaede, etc).. I *love* Lila for a girl, but Lilac.. not so much.
Good luck :)
Not a fan, i agree it sounds harsh and not like a proper name...whatever that sounds like! lol
I know of a Scarlett
