I like Celeste best.
Not keen on the h in Dahlia and also it makes me think of Bertie Wooster’s aunt bellowing like a mastodon or calling the cattle home across the sands of Dee

Dahlia. X

AdaColeman · 09/10/2022 22:17

Flora is my favourite.

Not at all keen on Dahlia.

Flora is a margarine spread.

Dahlia, whilst a beautiful name does have really upsetting connotations.

Celeste is a beautiful name, of your list I would pick this one :)

Celeste for me

Aquamarine1029 · 09/10/2022 22:07

Flora. That was my great aunt's name, and she was an absolutely amazing woman.

Flora
I do like Celeste but Dahlia would leave me wondering how to pronounce it. Daylia. Dahlia. Dalleeya ??

Dacadactyl · 09/10/2022 22:01

I prefer Celeste

Mumofgirls2017 · 09/10/2022 22:01

Like all; favourite is flora

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 09/10/2022 21:32

Flora. Nice and simple to learn to spell, less frilly than the others.

HighlandPony · 09/10/2022 21:31

Flora. Dahlia for me conjures up some pretty horrific murder photos

Lilacsunflowers · 09/10/2022 21:31

Love them all. Favourite is Flora.

DotDotDotDotDot · 09/10/2022 20:39

Dahlia is nice, although the 2 pronunciations might get annoying.

Foxtrot101 · 09/10/2022 20:20

I like Celeste the best.

LadyWithLapdog · 09/10/2022 20:15

Flora
Celeste
Dahlia

All are nice.

UnityO · 09/10/2022 20:14

I love Celeste!

Imissmoominmama · 09/10/2022 20:12

I thought I’d heard those names together before. Celeste was Babar’s wife, and Flora was his daughter.

I like them both better than Dahlia.
