Flora or Orla

[fredandginger]

Which do you prefer? Thanks!

Orla is lovely and different.

Not keen on Flora.

Flora. Can't bear Orla.

Both beautiful

orla.

Flpra reminds me of a vegetable fat spread & thrush (ie keeping the flora balanced)

That's just me though.

Flora

Orla is a dour name.

I like Flora more

Orla.

Orla.

Flora

Flora = spread. Not kind.

I love Orla, but it's so much nicer said in an Irish accent so that it's not rendered Aw-la...

Almost equally loved/hated then.... that's tricky!

Slinking: Lots of names mke people think of different things, this is life, not being unkind. I didn't say it reminded me of anything that socially unacceptable. It's butter!

No, it makes me think of the spread too - I think it would be unkind to name a child after a well-known spread. The teasing potential is great. Too great, IYKWIM.

Oh I see, sorry!

I'm a div.

Deliberated over both for dd, but chose Orla. Love it.

Margarine is also my mother's main concern with this name. But she also taught a horrible Orla..

I love Orla! Gorgeous and under-used.

When I first met the only Flora I know I did think margerine, sorry. I don't now I know her, of course

Flora! Flora! Flora! just like .

Orla slightly try-hard and gharrrsley.

I love Flora - I named my foal Flora!

It is a good Scot's name, simple, pretty, easy to spell and works on an adult too.

I never even though about the margerine until my children mentioned it!

Orla love it!

Flora a maragarine!

Both are nice but I prefer Orla. Classy and a bit stronger sounding than Flora.

Also don't like Flo as a potential nickname from Flora.

I like Orla. Flora a bit old-fashioned and staid/sensible/dull. Lots of people will think margarine as well!

I prefer Flora.
