Thoughts on Lilac?

Girl Names

I have just come across the name [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]. I really love it and think it’d work well, probably just as a middle name. Thoughts?

Possible combinations just from my list so far are (please bear in mind that due to my accent it’s more LIE-LOOK than LIE-LACK/[name_m]LOCK[/name_m], possibly allowing the combos to flow better):

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Acacia[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]
[name_f]Marcie[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]

Is it too ‘out there’ or would it be a suitable middle name? Thanks guys. :slight_smile:

Use it as a first name. it is sweet.

I like it…they are my favorite flowers. It’s actually one of the few flower names I like. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite of your combos is [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f].

4

You should use it as a first name, it is lovely.

5

I adore the name [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]!

All your combos are lovely, but I’d avoid [name_f]Acacia[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] as it’s heavy on the botanical names!

I like [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] as a first or middle name. It’s really sweet. I agree with leadmythoughts that [name_f]Acacia[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] is a bit too botanical. The rest could work though.

I love [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]! I just put it on my list as a middle to [name_f]Eleanora[/name_f] (I’ve loved it since my teen years, though, but never really thought I’d end up with someone who also likes it).

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] is quite perfect :slight_smile:

[name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] is perfect.

I love [name_f]Lilac[/name_f], it could work as a first, but it would be a statement name. I love [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] & [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]

I think you should use [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] as a first name

Possible Combos:
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f] [name_f]Annabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f] [name_f]Katherine[/name_f]
[name_f]Lilac[/name_f] [name_f]Elise[/name_f]

I quite like [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] (along with some other purple flower names! [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] and [name_f]Viola[/name_f] :wink: ) but I think the stress of the ending in some accents would put me off. Your combo’s are very pretty though!

12

I love a [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] as a middle or a first! It’s very soft and gentle, and such a lovely colour. I love both [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] in general, but I think my favourite is [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f].

13

I think it’s lovely enough to use as a first name!

But if you really want it as a mn, I think it works best with [name_f]Marcie[/name_f] or [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] from your list.

14

I really love it, and your combinations are gorgeous. I think [name_f]Marcie[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] and [name_f]Imogen[/name_f] [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] are my favourites. I would use it as a FN if I could, [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] [name_f]Arabella[/name_f] is beautiful :slight_smile:

Also, this post may help :slight_smile: [name_f]Elea[/name_f] posted it today, and it’s combinations with [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] from 1975-2005, and then some from the Victorian era.

Okay, so I’m the odd one out, but I don’t like [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] sorry. It’s made of two quite unflattering words, lie and lack. [name_f]Lilac[/name_f].

It may just be the way I pronounce it though: lie-lack.
