Can you have Laura and Flora?

Currently 20 weeks pregnant and just found out it's a girl. I love Flora for a name, but my husband thinks it's too similar to my name, Laura. Is he right?

Fine for mother and daughter in my opinion! I really love the name Flora xxx

Fine for mother and daughter. Not fine for siblings.

I think it's too similar.

I think for siblings it wouldn't work but for mother and daughter it's not really an issue.

I think they're too similar, people often mishear Laura as Maura, Orla, Lorna etc (maybe I mumble) if you add the confusion over mother and daughter name she may spend her life correcting people
