Floran (boy name).. what do you think?

[Wendy8484]

What do you think of the name Floran for a boy?

It's more like a toothpaste name than a human name.

Assume you meant Florian?

Terrible

Sorry. I've changed my mind. Its okay. 8 like it.

I like it, I mean.

Florian, surely?

I’ve heard florian before, but not floran. It’s a bit flowery/girly for a boy and might lead to some teasing?

Sounds like a toddler trying to say 'foreign'....

Too feminine for a boy's name I'd say (both Floran and Florian).

awful

No

I've not come across it before, only Florian (which I'm not a huge fan of tbh)

Definitely no....it’s very feminine

It’s not a name.

As pp say, you may mean Florian, which is a name.

Pretentious

I'd picture an adult with that name to be an absolute drip too.

I think it's lovely. It's always been one of my favourites

If you mean Florian that is

Is it not Florian?

It's a popular name in Germany isn't it?

I went to uni with one, he was British with a German father.

I have forgotten the names of many people I knew but wasn't close to at uni, but not him as his name stood out

And yes, it was Florian not Floran assuming typo

There’s a famous dancer called Florian Pohl. (He’s terribly terribly ugly as you can see .) I would put the name in the same category as Fabian... which I also quite like but think that if you’re not very confident or very bohemian it might be quite tricky growing up.

@EineReiseDurchDieZeit yes, it is. :-) I had a book when I was a kid about a boy named Florian.

I quite like the name, but I don't think it's very fashionable nowadays.

I'm also not sure that it would fit well with English pronunciation. There would be a slightly different inflection that would sound strange.

Florian? Name of our local ballet school. Don’t like it as a boy’s name. Reminds me of that disinfectant people on mn always rave about.

Florian maybe, but definitely not Floran.

If you mean Florian, I love it. I don't know Floran as a name though.
