Just that really - love them both and can't decide which I prefer!

I like Susannah. Don't like Flora at all, sorry, it's too closely linked with the margarine.

AllPowerfulLizardPerson · 27/01/2017 21:40

Susannah.

I think Flora is a lovely name, but as it's also a margarine by the strapline of 'spreads easily', I really wouldn't

Gonna be unhelpful and say Susie

Looks like it's unanimous.
I love them both but DH prefers Susannah. He'll be happy!

Susannah - it's beautiful.

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 27/01/2017 22:02

Susannah. It just sounds so joyful.

TalkingofMichaelAngel0 · 27/01/2017 22:02

Susannah definitely

HumphreyCobblers · 27/01/2017 22:03

Susannah is gorgeous. I always had it in mind. Very under used.

Enkopkaffetak · 27/01/2017 22:27

I adore both. Both dh and I love Flora however our surname starts FL and you just knew that would be a issue for a small one so we took it off.

I like Susannah a lot however Flora is "my" unused favourite name. SO Flora gets my vote. I know its a margarine however I still hear " flora" and think flowers rather than Marg.

DramaAlpaca · 27/01/2017 22:38

Another vote for Susannah.

llangennith · 27/01/2017 22:41

Susannah

Susannah
Flora - a big no! She will be teased.

roseteapot101 · 27/01/2017 22:57

Susannah ,its a shame flora is a spread as it does sound nice but unfortunately due to this i personally would not use it.

you could use Florentia

alltouchedout · 27/01/2017 23:02

Definitely Susannah, it's lovely.

Sophronia · 28/01/2017 00:28

Susannah is beautiful. I would use it if my DH liked it.

Bobochic · 28/01/2017 00:29

Flora - my DD is a Flora and I love it.

MiniMaxi · 28/01/2017 00:29

I love Susannah!

BuntyFigglesworthSpiffington · 28/01/2017 00:30

Even putting the margarine thing aside, Flora reminds me more of gut flora than beautiful flowers.

thebakerwithboobs · 28/01/2017 00:33

Flora! I love it x

GinghamChicken · 28/01/2017 08:26

We have a gorgeous, feisty, joyful niece called Suzannah, often shortened to Zannah. Love it!
