What are your thoughts on the name Fleur? We are considering for DC1. DH loves it but I am not quite 100% yet...

Love it.
Haven’t met a child with it.

I really like it.

I have a very close family member with this name and it is gorgeous imo and has weathered very well over the years.
Go for it!

My friend called her daughter Fleur :)
Such a pretty little name. I think its beautiful
ivfdreaming · 01/08/2020 09:17
I'm not a fan - always sounds like someone pretending to throw up or has something stuck in their throat

Beautiful name. I know one who is 12 now. Suited her as a 5 year old and doesn't sound odd as a preteen either.

I have to say I don't like this one.
Pronounced with a French accent, pretty, but English...Sounds like "Fler" which is quite throat-cleary. Or maybe how my friend from Halifax would say "flo"

I’m 50 and knew a girl called Fleur at school. Absolutely love it!
Puppilangstrumpfi · 01/08/2020 09:27
I like Fleur. Very pretty.
JaJaDingDong · 01/08/2020 09:27
I think it sounds like someone being sick. Sorry OP.
SpeedofaSloth · 01/08/2020 09:31
Lovely 
honeybmain · 01/08/2020 12:06
Cute!
Alaboudoir · 01/08/2020 14:24
It's growing on me...
LivingMyBestLife2020 · 01/08/2020 14:25
It was my top girl choice but had a boy. I love it
fleamadonna · 01/08/2020 14:28
Reminds me of phlegm.
PlantPotting · 01/08/2020 14:47
I really like it 💐
I probably wouldn't use it as I failed French at school. But I do know one little girl Fleur and love it
Haworthia · 01/08/2020 14:48
It’s pretty but the English pronunciation sounds like “bleurgh!”
MikeUniformMike · 01/08/2020 17:23
It's a friend's middle name.
A schoolfriend (we're going back a few decades) had a Ddog called Fleur nn Fleurdie.
mamaoffourdc · 01/08/2020 17:24
Love it!
123Dancewithme · 01/08/2020 21:04
I like it!
WinWinnieTheWay · 01/08/2020 21:15
I know a couple, it reminds me of eurgh.
MikeUniformMike · 01/08/2020 21:16
Is it a name in France? I thought it was from The Forsyte Saga.
GoshHashana · 01/08/2020 21:43
I've never seen the appeal of this name. Sounds like "bleurghhh".
DramaAlpaca · 01/08/2020 22:05
I really want to like it, it looks so pretty on the page... but I don't think I like the spoken sound much. However, I just asked DH to say it and it sounds lovely in a west of Ireland accent.
Alaboudoir · 05/08/2020 11:37
Thanks all. I was worried about the eerrgh noise too but I do think it's a beautiful name. I am so drawn to short names!
