What do you think of Flora? I've heard about the spreading joke but have heard that people don't really use it much though it still worries me. I don't mind the margarine don't ever have it and just love the name Flora, the simplicity and elegance of it, very light and pretty imo. What do you think?

Like Fleur but a bit Harry Potter-y for me?

Leaning towards Florence rn to avoid the margarine connotations!

I would never associate the name Fleur with Harry Potter.

I think it’s beautiful.

I love Lenor but have a similar problem due to fabric softener 😒

Fleur is beautiful too

I love Flora. I’d use it despite the marge thing but it doesn’t really work with our surname. So pretty and elegant though!

Florence is beautiful xxx

Fiorella is another option for you or how about Cora?

Flora is beautiful and prettier than Florence imo.

I think Flora is beautiful, as is Florence.

Flora is gorgeous. Makes me think of the lovely Enya song 'floras secret'

Love it. I didn't think of the spreading till I read what you'd put.
