Amaryllis

It was in a play that I saw.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Amaretto?

I really do think this is a pretty name.

Think of the mar pronounced like Mary and put the emphasis there. More like a-MARE-ill-is. I know it’s a totally wrong pronunciation of this name but I think it’s pretty, that’s all.

Except it's not pronounced that way.

"a-MERYL-lis" this makes no sense.

It reminds of a Western character or when you enter a bar and order an Amaryllis in a dirty glass. Make it fast!

Beautiful name

I can't look at this name and not think of Winthrop saying, "Amaryllith"!

I love this name, if I have a girl I plan on using this name to honor a grandma Mary. So many nicknames to pick from!

A subtle honor name if you want to honor a Mary or Amy

I'm playing this character in my theater's production of The Music Man. Being the name nerd that I am, as soon as I found out I got the part, I looked up Amaryllis! Such a gorgeous name with a wonderful meaning!

love the definition, and the name is sort of growing on me too ;)

My name is Amaryllis, I have always liked my name and everyone always comments and says what a pretty name. even though it is hard to pronounce :)
But everyone calls me Ryll (pronounced rill)

I think Amaryllis is interesting and unusual. Ryllis would be a neat nickname and you could always go with Lissie or Mary or Amy

Very pretty, though I'm more partial to the Spanish form of Amarilis.

I know a girl named this. I think it's a lovely idea, but too much for me to use.

Love the word and the scent of the flower, but I prefer how it looks to how it sounds.

I have a long love for this frilly name...

I really like this!

Amaryllis sounding like "I'm the realest" put me off from it. It's so pretty but that ruined it.

First things first Amaryllis. Haha my friend sent me that it said amaryllis on a street sign.

I saw this name written and loved it. But then I heard it and realized it's pronounced a-ma-RILL-is and I just really don't like that. I'd love if this name WAS pronounced more like the name Meryl, a-MERYL-lis.

Not entirely. I think it's cool how you pointed that out. I never would have noticed. : ) Great eye. Some people might not know how to pronounce It though.

Are you referring to my comment? Cuz I totally agree with you on the "a-ma-RILL-is" pronunciation. I was just trying to emphasize the fact that the name Mary is hidden inside Amaryllis.

A beautiful and unique name. I am fairly sure it is pronounced A-ma-RILL-is, as opposed to am-AIR-ee-liss

Could be an interesting way to honor Grandma Mary (a-MARY-llis).
