Florus for a boy? What do you think?

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Only if his surname's Virus

CaroleFuckinBaskin · 10/04/2020 19:03

Sounds like a vagina infection.

And, before you ask, Floras is also not great, and neither is Flores.

Floros?

daisypond · 10/04/2020 19:09

Didn’t you just ask about Floris?

123Dancewithme · 10/04/2020 19:14

I think you will get similar opinions to those you got for Floris!

Justkeepleft · 10/04/2020 19:26

Floris is a popular name in the Netherlands so not made up.
In the end once you name your child it is their name and people get used to it.

I've known a Flor. He was lovely.

Enough4me · 10/04/2020 19:43

Florian or Floyd are ok.

littlemeitslyn · 10/04/2020 19:44

Yuck

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 10/04/2020 19:52

Flor... for boys names in general are not move . Stop asking about different ideas of the same name. Yesterday was Floris, today is Florus, please don't say Floras or Floros tomorrow. Because none of them are good

ncqtime · 10/04/2020 20:04

Floris in Dutch would sound similar to Morris not the English floor-uhs

duletty · 10/04/2020 20:17

Why?

Buttercup54321 · 12/04/2020 01:43

Horrible.
Fabian?

Bouncingbelle · 12/04/2020 01:54

I'd thinkyou were being cruel to this baby.

VenusClapTrap · 12/04/2020 18:02

I like Floris and Florian. But not Florus.

BackforGood · 12/04/2020 18:04

awful

seltaeb · 12/04/2020 18:05

Definitely not.

whatausername · 12/04/2020 18:06

I don't think it'd work all that well in the UK unless you're in an exceptionally diverse area. As someone said unless you can guarantee he's handsome & brooding it's going to seem a bit rubbish. Perhaps time to let this one go?

Is there a weird ‘Flo’ troll doing the rounds? We’ve had Floris, Florus and Floriè now. What a weird thing to troll about.

simonisnotme · 12/04/2020 18:37

good grief, where the hell are these weird names coming from/being dreamt up.
OP would you like to be stuck with a name like that all your life ??
No ? then why lumber your kid with it !!

toughgetsgoing · 14/04/2020 10:09

Odd name

RishiSunakFanClub · 14/04/2020 12:55

Awful

AMomHasNoName · 14/04/2020 13:04

Floris= No
Florus =No

Greenmarmalade · 14/04/2020 13:06

Why not? If you like it, go for it. I prefer Floris.
