Re: Two sightings!
I loved Tiger-Lily as a name. When I was eight. I also thought that Francie and Frances was a great set of names for twin girls, when I was eight. And when I was eight, I found the disconnected leg of a blow-up doll in the park across the street from my house and I thought it was the coolest thing ever and I brought it home and put it in my closet. Because I didn't realize what it was. Because I was eight. Yes, that was the year that Tiger-Lily was a wonderful name.Proud....I don't know whether or not it's connected in some way to the fact that the bearer is Asian. I pretty much don't want to judge for that reason. It's certainly not a pretty-sounding English word.

Yeah, I recon it could possibly be an Anglicisation of her original name. Of course, I'm not trying to imply a connection, so apologies if I come across as insensitive there...

No, not at all. It's just a personal preference of mine not to try to judge names from other cultures, unless it's a name that has become assimilated into my culture. It's not even so much a preference as an inability to do so.
