Amaryllis - yay or nay

FakeFinn · August 2013

I just came across the name Amaryllis and I think I like it! What do you guys think?

NMS. Cross between a flower, std,and a city in Texas.

StickyBaby · August 2013

Yes, it is a literature that means "to sparkle"
Use it!

Not my style

All I hear is Amarillo.

oliversbear · August 2013

Yay. I read a series of mysteries where the lead character is Amaryllis and goes by Liss. I think it's cute. And I love the flower.

Love the flower- but would you call her that whole name? Seems better for a name, if you had a shorted nickname. Like Mara or such.

I'm enamored with this name. I never realized until recently the flower name comes from mythology, and that it means "sparkling". Love.

And now all I can think of is the crazy chick from The Bachelor.... I don't like the name Amaryllis. I know the flower thing is popular, but this is one flower name I don't care for.

It's okay as flower names go, but I'm not a big fan. Maybe for a Christmas baby?

Love it-- I have it on my list in the MN spot. Super pretty!

evaazalea · August 2013

I love flower names so, yay!

Notwifezilla7 · August 2013

Seems like a mouthful for a kid. Perhaps as a MN.

michrocc · August 2013

I think it's great in the mn spot.

I really love it! One of my favorite names, although I might not be brave enough to use it for a FN.

This exactly. Also, I think of chrysalis.

AlphabetFish · August 2013

Love it! It's beautiful, has a nice association, and lends itself to a lot of interesting nicknames. I think it would have to be paired with a simple last name, though, otherwise it could get overwhelming.

FakeFinn · August 2013

Thanks for all the replies! The STD association isn't a good one, but I still like Amaryllis, although I'm not sure I'd be brave enough to use it as a FN.
