Lilac / Lillà
Hi !!!WDYTO the name Lilac?
It is a flower name.I also like the Italian form (Lillà).
I find it charming and old-fashionable.
It is frilly but in a positive way imo like the name of a sweet granny.Other forms of it are Lilach (Hebrew), Lilas (LEE-las Spanish) and Lilas (lee-LA French).Opinions?

This is one of my favorite flowers, so it's a really good association for me. I really like the Hebrew form Lilach and the Italian Lilla. Lilac in English is nice but a bit 'whiny' sounding (probably because of the long I and short A).

Lilac is absolutely gorgeous, but it's the only form that you mentioned that I really care for.

Lilac is one of my favorite guilty pleasures! It's incredibly pretty and the flower itself smells amazing.I like Lilac far more than Lillà, Lilach and both forms of Lilas.
