Flora.....do you just think of a tub of margarine?

[Neverdonethisbefore]

I like this name but not sure what people will think. Help!

No,I don't particularly care if others think so either...
It's top of my list for this baby

Yes I would immediately think of marg. But does it matter as long as you like it!?

I think of Flora MacDonald. Although if her sister was called Clover, I might start to wonder.

No, I wouldn't think of margarine. I would think a lovely little girls name.

I just wonder if she has a sibling called Fauna.

It makes me think of the marg, but once people get to know her they will stop associating it. I went to school with a girl called Floren which is a mix of Flora and Erin (her parents couldn't decide so mixed the two apparently) but I think it's quite a nice alternative to Flora.

It was my mother's name, and I love it.

No. Feisty Jilly Cooper heroine, which might put some off!

I think it's absolutely beautiful.

No I don't. It's a lovely name. Come to think of it, haven't seen flora marg in the shops much recently?

No I don't. It's a lovely name. Come to think of it, haven't seen flora marg in the shops much recently?

My daughter is called Flora and no one even mentions marg!

Oooh I'd forgotten about the Jilly Cooper books.

I am pleased that marg isn't the first thing that springs to mind for some of you. The name is in my top 5 and I'm really tempted to use it this time around.

I love love love this name, but it was vetoed by DH . I think of Flora MacDonald before the margarine, but maybe that's because I'm Scottish. Either way, use it please - it's a gorgeous name

Flora is a beautiful name, I'd never think of marg. Anyway, Marge being a girl's name too you could always adopt it as a nn.

Yes.

No, Flora is a lovely name.

Love it!!! Going to be this bumps name if its a pink one!

I think it's a really nice name. I knew a Flora at school and she was lovely. Had it on my list but DH vetoed.

It's such a pretty name but sorry yes, that blimmin marg is what I think of before I mentally edit it out in annoyance with myself.

Stella similary tainted imho.

I do wish they would take nice names and use them for food/drinks etc.

I love the name Flora, but it was a cruel nickname bestowed upon girls who were known for their 'friendliness' and that kind of ruined it as a name for me.

I will always love the prettiness of the name but round our way the promiscuous girls will always be known as Flora = Spreads easily.

Hmmmm, I'd not heard of that nickname. I'm struggling to convince DH that it's nice and also Stella too. Might have to shelve them for when we get a dog!

Might be a local thing Neverdonethisbefore, but it's lasted through the years and still is heard to day. Friend of mine has a daughter called Florrie which is, to me at least, a very cute name.

Makes me think of flowers, so nice!

As long as her middle name isn't 'Buttery' or 'Light'

Yes, I do, I'm afraid. Sorry.

I love this name, although sadly I do briefly think of margarine. I think It's a very pretty name regardless and as long as you love it that's really all that matters! :)
