Hi,

I just love the name Flora and have been thinking about this for months and cannot pick another name over it. But my mum and sister both think it unwise due to the obvious connection with the margarine and say that she may be bullied about this when she is older.
I am pretty sure we will go ahead with Flora but just wanted to know other opinions as nobody else knows we are expecting another girl, so have no one else to ask.
Thanks

I really should preview, well done if you made sense of that post.

Well if you have partner onside go for it. Dh didn't like any of mine.
DDs name was one we both loved, as he didn't like my first choice.
We compromised on ds name. I like it,but it was never my number one choice either.

Good I am glad no1putbabyinthecorner, that you didn't think about the marg.
I don't want to regret using it and cannot think of another name that I love so much...but just the niggle of my mum and sister. Partner thinks we should go ahead as he loves it too.

Florence is beautiful. Could then shorten to Flora.

I like it. I met a Flora yesterday.
I didnt once think of the maragarine.
(despite dh always buying it)

Go for it, If you love it that much you will regret notusing it.
Congratulations btw.

I couldn't get over the margarine tbh.

Florence is nicer anyway.
