My name is Lily, like the flower! (I say this to 70% of the people I meet for the first time haha)...
When I was young, I was a bit of a tom boy and I felt that my name was too girly for me. I hated it. I wanted to have names that weren't from a flower. But as I grew up, matured and got compliments on my name (lol), I began to accept, embrace, and love my name.
I absolutely love my name. It sounds beautiful and I wouldn't want my name to be anything else.
my name is french for "beloved" and i think that's pretty neat
