One of my best friends from grade school has a daughter named Lily. I've always like that name.
A lily is called Yuri (百合) in Japanese, which is also a common name for girls. In floriography it means Purity.
I'm not sure what kind of white lily this is, but aren't they pretty? They look so delicate, yet if you look closely, you can see that they are growing from a crack in the asphalt.

Lilies are so lovely that it's no wonder that people use them for girl's names, no matter what the language.
I wish lilies would grow as easily here. White lilies are my favorite flowers! I love your title too — fits your photos perfectly.
