Tigerlily or Tiger Lily is an occasionally used English feminine given name used in reference to the flower known as the tiger lily due to its coloration that resembles a tiger. [a] It was the name of a character in J. M. Barrie's 1904 play Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn't Grow Up , his 1911 novel Peter and Wendy , and their various adaptations. More attention was drawn to the name after its use by Michael Hutchence and Paula Yates for their daughter in 1996. [2] [3] [4] More recently, the name caused comment when American Tigerlily Taylor Abdelfattah appeared on the American reality television series 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days in 2024. Abdelfattah said her young sons chose her name due to their liking for the character of Tiger Lily in the 1953 The Walt Disney Company film based on Barrie's Peter Pan. Abdelfattah was born Mariko Moss but later legally changed her first name to Tigerlily. [5] [6] It is a name with an image of bold and unconventional beauty, bordering on the outlandish, in Western countries. [7] [8] It is considered a "guilty pleasure" name by some. [9]
The name has been in occasional use in English-speaking countries since at least the 1990s but has never been ranked among the most popular names for newborn girls. There were 17 newborn American girls who received the name in 2020, 11 in 2021, 9 in 2022, and 12 in 2023. [10] Three newborn girls were named Tigerlily in Northern Ireland in 2022. [11]
