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

[Wendy8484]

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

It's not a name. Florian is a name.

A florin was a pre-decimalisation coin worth 2 shillings (20p)

The OP says Floran not Florin.

I picture Floran or Florian as an 18th Century gender fluid dandy. Sorry, not helpful.

What @Teabunny said.

The OP says Floran not Florin

Floran is not a name of anything- whether a boy or a coin. Possibly she heard it somewhere. To anyone over 60 whether it is spelled Floran or Florin (the sound is the same) it is a 2s piece.

Prince Florian was a bounder.

I hate it. Sorry.

Floran is not a name of anything. Yes, I know.

whether it is spelled Floran or Florin (the sound is the same) it is a 2s piece. Florin the coin is never to my knowledge spelled floran. I don’t quite know what you’re trying to argue.

Never heard it before....but LOVE it.

Do you mean Florian? If so, I quite like it, but it's quite a feminine boys name which not all boys would be able to carry (see also Gabriel, Jesse).
If it's Floran, no I don't like it. As a PP said, it sounds like someone mispronouncing "foreign"

Florin the coin is never to my knowledge spelled floran. I don’t quite know what you’re trying to argue

Well I have no idea what point you are making.

I never said florin the coin was spelt Floran. Floran said out loud sounds the same as florin.

Possibly the OP has heard the word florin somewhere, which has quite a pretty sound, and thought it was a name.

Florian is fine if you’re French. I don’t think it works in the UK.

I’ve not come across Floran but I know a Florin and a Florian. All lovely names!

Oh and the Florian I know lives in England and it definitely ‘works’ as a name

Florian?

Florian is a perfectly good traditional German / Austrian name. Floran is a typo.

I know a German Florian who goes by ‘Flo’ and I love that!

Seems a bit girly. But I tend to like feminine names for boys. Prefer Florian though.

Just be careful naming your son feminine sounding names and consider bullying.

Just, no.

I really like Florian (assume Florin is a mistype?). I don't think it sounds feminine or wet - but them I dislike typical, single syllable 'manly' boys names. I also like Gabriel and Jaygo (Cornish) so my taste might not be typical!

Sounds like an air freshener

I love Florian.

It's like you wanted to name the baby Flora but had a boy so cane up with Floran.

Florian always makes me think of some Alpine yodeler.

Quite like Florian, if that’s what you meant.
