Florestine - any opinions?

[GermanGirlinLDN]

I really like Florestine. Do you like or hate it?

Have never come across this name before. As a general rule I'm not keen on names that end in 'ine' (Justine, Christine, Claudine etc.) as it's a little harsh-sounding. If you want a variant on Florence what about Floella, Fleur, Florencia or Florenza?

I think it sounds like an antidepressant tablet, or a contraceptive. (sorry!)

Really unhelpful but for some reason it reminds me of philistine...

Agree it reminds me of the name of a contraceptive pill.

Sorry OP!

Thanks. Having pronounced the name in English rather than in German I agree.

Sounds like a toilet cleaner from Liddl - sorry

Sounds like a cake/biscuit to me. Sorry!

We had one at school she was called Frankenstein for 3 years before moving schools!

Is is flo- rest- Tina in German then?

Not sure really. Like the name meaning of the forest: sylvonna, Sylvina, or best of all for a boy sylvan.

Sounds like the name of a wanna be florist.

Sounds like a toothpaste or anti depressant .. Sorry!

Spunds to me like a pasta sauce.

I haven't heard it before, not really keen, it sounds like air freshener.

How about Florentine?

Sounds like florentine so puts me in mind of a biscuit

Haha I forgot the biscuits! Still think Florentine (and Florentina) are pretty!

I like Florentine too

How would you pronounce Florentine? Like Valentine at the end i guess?

It does sound like a loo cleaner

Florentine is beautiful.

Thrush treatment for over active vaginal flora.

Makes me think of forests. I like Florentine much more.

Florence, Florentina, Clementine?

I would pronounce the end of Florentine like 'teen' but Valentine like 'eye n' .

Yes I would pronounce it floren'teen' too.

Sounds medicinal.

It reminds me of the Florentine biscuits. (which I would pronounce to rhyme with Valentine)

Floris

Clarice

Clementine
