She'll be teased all the way through school, because a raspberry is not just a fruit, it is also the sound kids make when they put their rolled fingers to their mouth and make a fluctuating noise like a fart. It's called a "raspberry". Are you sure you want your daughter to be the "butt" of everyone's jokes?
I would highly suggest that you give her a real name with deep significance and meaning, like parents use to in the days of old. Elizabeth means "God is my oath". Kathryn means "purity and unsoiled". Alvina means "faithful friend". Valerie means "to stand in valor". Deborah means "the Word of God". Though none of these names may be of personal interest to you, but can you begin to grasp the great importance behind the concept of naming your child, that the name will actually "mold" the character and being of your daughter. Try finding an alternative name with substance that will reflect the kind of person and human being that you hope and desire for your daughter to become. Raspberry is just shallow.

If you like Raspberry Lilac, then go for it. Don't worry about what other people think because you are the one who has to bring this child into the world. You will teach her right from wrong and tell her what she can and can't do and so on. It is your right as a mother to name your daughter something you like. Lilac is good, you could always call her Lilly for short to prevent all the name calling and so on. I think it's unique and out there and is something that isn't on the 100 top baby names. I had the same problem as you do except for with my mom. I wanted to name my daughter Whisper Arianna. My mom hated it so I took dad's advice, " You are the one having this child and bringing it into this world. You name the baby what you like because it is your child and no one elses." Good Luck

I like it!! I have a 3 week old daughter and wish I had thought of using Lilac as her middle name!! Very original....and don't be bothered by rude comments from other people hun! If movie stars can name their daughters Apple......why not Raspberry?!!

I shall assume you are from the USA - it means something a bit rude in the UK! Um, actually I don't think anyone here would call a child "raspberry" (it's a euphemism for "passing wind") and lilac is traditionally an unlucky flower, so it isn't a very common name at all (that, of course, is just superstition).
Personally, I think it's an OK name, although I admit I did a double-take, simply because it has another meaning here!

Honestly I think Raspberry is a strange name but its your child. Think of some these celebrities with there children w/ wierder names. I love the Lilac part. Really pretty. I think its your baby you name it. CONGRATS ON YOUR BABY :-]
Think bout this in school she will most likely get nicknames some good some hurtful.

Rasberry Lilac does not need a change - it reminds me of putting two incense sticks together one raspberry scent and the other a lilac scent. Just do whatever else you need to do.

Maybe your Mother-in-law was right. I can accpet Lilac but raspberry is not matching or makes any sense. When your daughter's in school, others will definitely make fun of her. Don't spoil her future. didn't you ask anyone before you make such decisions?
