i think ebony on a white girl is weird, but that's just me. it would be no different than naming a white girl shaniqua, and i actually knew one of those a few years ago. ebony is a classy name and everything, but whenever i hear it, i expect a black girl. like if i did meet a white girl named ebony, i would think it was strange but it wouldn't necessarily be a problem.
lily on a black girl would be fine though. i think more of the flower when i hear that, rather than a skin color connotation. in that movie cloverfield, one of the main characters is a woman of mixed race (i'm not positive but she looks either black/white or black/indian to me) and her name in the movie is lily.
