Lyric is SO contrived.

Lilac is ... oh god Lyric is contrived, I can't stand it. There is something neat and sweet and clipped about Lilac even though it isn't my style, but Lyric is something that should be left to middle schoolers in their failed novels for the really sexy mysterious character.

Oh GAWD I agree.

While I think "lyric" is a pretty word, here's something about it as a name that's always bothered me and I think you've hit on it. I can just see some tween girl calling her fanfic Mary-Sue Lyric...

I assume for a girl?

Lilac, but just in general I'd pick Lyric. only I'd use it on a boy and not a girl.

Lilac, but only slightly because I find both of them kind of simple.

Lilac. I have a really cruel ex named Lyric.

Lilac, no question.

Lyric is so tacky.

Personally, I would never use either, though.

Lilac!

Lilac is probably my favorite girls name right now. Lyric seems so tacky and contrived, but Lilac is spunky and timeless.

I think Lilac is cute, but I hate Lyric. I especially like Lilac as a middle name.

Lilac, please.

I never understood the appeal of Lyric.
