TTC child 2 so no impending urgency. Always had Flora down for if we have a girl (1 DS so far) and I'm pretty set on it because it's for personal reasons not just a name I 'like.' DH has always been on board with this until yesterday he care home saying in laws were taking the piss of a neighbour called Flora calling her Flora spreadable. Now he's not keen. We may not even have a girl but I just wondered if anyone else thought of the butter when they heard the name? TIA

Yes, first association is margarine. And it's old addrtisement strapline.

And even though it's not used this ad slogan for ages, people haven't t forgotten that it 'spreads easily' (widely interpreted as double entendre, hence the choice of words - they aren't just referencing the food and DH knows that)

A pretty name but the spread is the first thing I think of, sorry.

Yes sorry flora is margarine.

Bit of a shame really because it's a lovely name otherwise
