Teasing target?

[HaggisMuncher]

Will Flora Margaret as first and middle names be a teasing target? Am thinking of potential for Flora Marge. Am I over thinking? Help!

Virtually no one will know her middle name, so there's no teasing potential.

Flora Marge? Like margarine?

Flora is lovely. No one ever knows your middle name. Go for it

Hmm, no, don't do it.

Love Flora.

But would avoid it with Margaret

I think it's a gorgeous name and would never have thought of the margarine connection..until you pointed it out. So, think you are overthinking it!

Flora is lovely, but you absolutely cannot pair it with Margaret.

It's fine OP. I mean when exactly do you announce your full name?

Split verdict! Margaret was my Gran's name so a special one for us. Our other middle name (also a special one for us) starts with a G so we end up with FGM. not great!

Flora Margaret is fine. Who shortens middle names?!

Fine

It's fine, I've never heard of anyone shortening someone's middle name. Most of the time you don't even tell people your middle name.

Absolutely fine. I tend to think that the names/initials identified as teasing targets on here suggest more of a weird, prurient over-imaginativeness on the part of grown adults.

Flora in itself has the problem.

The 'spreads easily' tag line might not have been actually used in adverts for yonks, but it's not been forgotten.

And yes, middle names might not much be used, but IME children do ask each other about theirs from time to time. And this would be a memorable combination, right up in the Polly Esther league.

Flora Marge was first thing I thought before I'd even read the entire OP

How about Olive Phillipa (Olive Pip)?

I've never heard anyone shorten their middle name, so I think it's fine.

Flora Margaret is lovely !

No I doubt it.

What about Marny instead of Margaret (it's a diminutive of Margaret)?

I think it's fine. No one your child's age with know that Flora tagline (I'm 29 and I didn't, so it has been forgotten) Flora is a lovely name. Honestly kids who want to tease can find any way of doing so.

I think it will be perfectly ok. It is a lovely name. There is a period when your baby is tiny that people use first name middle name combo - when introducing her and then for the rest of their lives they are hardly ever used together again.

I think it's fine. Her middle name will rarely come up and who shortens a middle name anyway, unless it's in regular use in place of the first name?

It's absolutely fine. Flora Margaret is lovely.

I shorten my DD's middle name. It's Louise so she is xxxx-Lou

Never mind Flora Margaret (which is a no), the initials FGM are an absolute no.
