What are your thoughts on Florimund for a boy?

Parents need to keep in mind that their kid has to live the "yoonique" name they pick.

Florian or Florin, lovely. Edmund, lovely.

Florimund, not so lovely. Cummerbund Grin

Floribund moribund.

No way.

miffmufferedmoof · 16/07/2022 21:47

Makes me think of the words ‘florid’ and ‘moribund’. Not ideal

Classica · 16/07/2022 21:44

Hideous. Sounds like the brand name of a liquid iron supplement.

Christ 🤣🤣🤣

Sounds like a species of mould.

🤣🤣

Cas112 · 16/07/2022 21:15

What😂

Primatrying · 16/07/2022 21:14

I thought it was interesting as I wasn't sure if it was a boy's name from Florian + Edmund, or a girl's name from Flora + Rosamund. It sounds made up.

Tbh I've heard worse suggestions on here but it's not something I'd choose!

Spanielsarepainless · 16/07/2022 20:40

Dreadful.

Sloebluewalls · 16/07/2022 20:40

Awful but I like Florian

JennyForeigner · 16/07/2022 20:40

You could call his sister Florizel

😆

Laughed out loud.

CaptainCorellisXylophone · 16/07/2022 20:16

No. No again. Hard no.

alphapie · 16/07/2022 19:58

No

MadMadMadamMim · 16/07/2022 19:57

Florimund would be a target for getting the shit kicked out of him at most schools round here...

FlissyPaps · 16/07/2022 19:53

Sorry OP, it’s awful.

Florian sounds much nicer!

Thefriendlymoth · 16/07/2022 19:49

Florian or Edmund are both quite fine. The combination of the two, I think you’d legitimately have to be a prince to pull it off.

I came across it as Prince Florimund whilst reading my daughter Sleeping Beauty. I've always quite liked Florian and Edmund so wondered what others think. Clearly it's a no lol

With food, no alcohol. Sounds a bit like medicine. Florian much better.

Divebar2021 · 16/07/2022 19:23

I assumed it was a new drug being trialled. How about Fabian? I once met an exceptionally handsome American soldier who was called Fabian. ( it turned out his name was really Billy but I will always think of the name fondly) 😀

Princessoftheuniverse · 16/07/2022 19:23

Thought it was going to be for a girl. It sounds like an air freshener. Please don’t.

TiredYorkshireMam · 16/07/2022 19:22

Was going so say it wasn't great, assumed for a girl.

Would be very surprised if that's actually a boys name.

CliffordDanger · 16/07/2022 19:21

Moribund.

DramaAlpaca · 16/07/2022 19:20

It's a bit, well, flowery. Especially for a boy.
