All through my pregnancy (now 31w) our baby girl was going to be called Flora. Now I have been given a section date for 36w and am just not sure any more!!
Would love some feedback on the following names:
Flora
Martha
Petra
Anya
Middle name to be Mary.

If it helps at all my other children are called:
James
Erica
Samuel

Many thanks to anyone who takes the time to reply Grin

Flora is very pretty though it does make me think a bit of margarine... have you considered Petrina - the diminutive of Petra? x

Love love love Petra, Anya and Flora. Really dislike Martha (sorry)
I think if you've had you're heart set on Flora then she should be Flora. It's a beautiful name and goes well with your other children's names.

Well, against the majority I vote for Petra, it is a strong name like Erica. Flora a close second because of the flower connection and....I like it better. A bit irrational maybe but it is just happier sounding than the other two.

I like Martha best- all OK except Petra but I don't think that any go with Mary- you need a longer name if you are going to use it.

I like Martha best, but not with Mary.
Don't like Petra.
Anya is nice and perhaps 'works' better with Mary than Martha does.

I love Flora and Petra, not fussed on either Anya or Martha.
I also love the name Mary, which is very underused.

Thanks everyone, Mary is my mums name but everyone calls her may and originally that was the choice of second name. Then in my hormonal madness I realised that all my other children had a saints name either as first or middle and dc4 would be the only one without!! Should I go back to may??
I am leaning more towards Flora I must admit.
