About Lilac
Could Lilac be the next Lila or Lily or Violet? It certainly has a lot going for it--those lilting double 'l's, the fabulous fragrance it exudes, and the fact that it's a color name as well, providing a ready made nursery theme. In addition, the lilac is symbolic of first love.
Actor Stephen Moyer was ahead of the curve when he named his daughter Lilac in 2002.
Pronounced LY-lak.
As of October 2026, Lilac ranked #4131 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3603 in 2024.
