Looking for an unusual middle name for my son. Thanks!

Florp has certain Scandinavian or perhaps Dutch connotations. I agree with Florp.

What are the "unfortunate connotations" of Edward Heath, iismum? Worried his classmates might compare him to the politician and his time in govt/opposition

Please don't use the yooneeq spelling 'Fflorp'. The original is a classic and should not be tampered with.

Whosthemummynow · 24/06/2017 01:04

Full florp 😂 😂 😂

MineKraftCheese · 24/06/2017 01:00

Have also heard it pronounced "Flor" with the silent "p". Very elegant.

SealSong · 24/06/2017 00:56

I much prefer the spelling Fflorp. It has a certain something.

FidgetSpinner · 24/06/2017 00:52

Graham, pronounced grey ham

blahthisistoohard · 24/06/2017 00:50

Florp sounds about as real as several others on this thread!

viques · 24/06/2017 00:43

If you are too scared to go full florp OP how about an initial, I give you ( drum roll)

F or rather f because lower case is cool. If could be pronounced eff or ff.

PotOfYoghurt · 24/06/2017 00:40

Can I suggest Florp? It's a rather genteel name of old.

Florp is much nicer than Grey, Beau or Bear.

Look no further, OP.

EduCated · 24/06/2017 00:35

It has to be Florp.

Try explaining that one at his 18th.

Madbum · 24/06/2017 00:33

Florp, definitely Florp.

Fox or Florp

Florp · 23/06/2017 19:54

Oi! You've pinched my name

jollyjester · 23/06/2017 19:40

Aww I now want a fictional dc4 called florp!

I've already named fictional DD3 Rose. Its bad to want another baby just to use a name isn't it?

MineKraftCheese · 23/06/2017 19:35

Crying at Florp here 😂

Great if your surname is Thorpe

Bloody hell, don't call him Edward Heath. Unfortunate connotations!
