Myself and DH have been discussing the name Flora Rose (surname Redman)

I personally love it but would like to hear other opinions please...

I just think of margarine. Sorry.🙄

Returnoftheowl · 08/04/2021 17:39

I think it's cute.

Katyowl · 08/04/2021 18:06

I really like it, Flora is a beautiful name, reminds me of a character in a book I loved. Smile

I wasn't fussed until Andrea called her baby Flora in Call My Agent. Loved it, especially in a French accent! Rose is fine as a middle name (DD has it) but I wouldn't use it, Flora Rose is a bit sickly sweet.

The easy to spread jokes would put me off. Not pleasant for a teen...

I think it’s absolutely beautiful and is my favourite girls name of all time.

Unfortunately OH doesn’t like it!

VeganVeal · 08/04/2021 18:10

My sisters friends DD is called Flora Buttery

Saltyslug · 08/04/2021 18:11

Lovely name.

Pearbear · 08/04/2021 18:12

Sorry the margarine brand springs to mind when I read your op

Tempusfudgeit · 08/04/2021 18:20

For your blooming generation?

Shieldingending · 08/04/2021 18:32

I love it !

Bairnsmum05 · 08/04/2021 19:15

Beautiful name. I'm scottish and would use it if I had a wee girl 😍

brushlaptop · 08/04/2021 19:21

I love it x

That's not a current slogan, it's plant goodness now. I know it's a slogan from years ago, but I'd like to think teens would not be aware of this reference!? Maybe I'm being naive...

It’s a lot of r’s- better hope she doesn’t have a speech impediment!

lozengeoflove · 08/04/2021 19:43

@CoolCatTaco just came on here to see you’ve beaten me to it Grin
J’adore Flora.

UnitedRoad · 08/04/2021 19:48

It’s a beautiful name.

sunnymondays · 08/04/2021 19:51

I once taught a flora. I couldn't look at her without thinking about margarine. If you like it though then that's what matters. She will be your child and she can always shorten it if she decides she doesn't like it.

Also have you thought about Fleur? Similar and so beautiful.

wanderedlonelyasacloud · 08/04/2021 19:52

I like it!

I didnt even think of butter/margarine until I read other posters comments

In terms of the old marketing slogan I'm in my late 20s and didnt know that was its slogan so I doubt teens of the future would

TaraR2020 · 08/04/2021 19:53

It's a lovely name

ButterflyOfFreedom · 08/04/2021 19:54

I like it... but would never use it due to the margarine/ spreads easily link. No one wants a daughter who spreads easily.

The flora/ fauna link isn't that great either.

Watto1 · 08/04/2021 19:55

I love Flora but I’m not sure if Flora Rose flows particularly well.

ColdCottage · 08/04/2021 19:56

I love it but my husband vetoed it.

readytostand22 · 08/04/2021 20:03

It's a beautiful name but I think too many R's!

Girljuly2021 · 08/04/2021 20:10

@readytostand22

It's a beautiful name but I think too many R's!
What middle names do you suggest please?
