Flora is a popular margarine....for this reason don't go there even if you think it is a lovely name. Everyone you know will wonder why you called your daughter after a margarine....they WILL snigger, though this is unlikely to be to your face. Sorry

Nope. Flora is not good.

The names sound lovely together, but I'm not sure about the double-flower thing either. Flora is a gorgeous name.

I love it!

Too many 'R' sounds in a row I feel. It doesn't flow from the '-ra' to the 'Ro' very smoothly.

Also I wouldn't have both names as flowers/pertaining to flowers. They're both pretty names but by putting them together it's the name version of Cath Kidston floral pattern overkill.

I hope I haven't offended. Ultimately, whatever name feels right to you is the right one.

Surname begins with P and is quite long x

Too many "R" sounds in a row for my liking, what letter does the surname begin with?

Gorgeous. So jealous but I could never get my husband to agree to Flora Hmm x

Sorry makes me think of the margarine, which is a shame because in theory it's a pretty name :(
