Can you have Laura and Flora?

Currently 20 weeks pregnant and just found out it's a girl. I love Flora for a name, but my husband thinks it's too similar to my name, Laura. Is he right?

@Rachellow

I think they're quite different tbh! In all honesty, Flora is a lot posher than Laura. The Fl is stressed so I don't really think you'll mistake it for Laura. I wouldn't do Laura + Lauren/Lara but Flora sounds fine.
That’s not how stresses work. Laura and Flora have exactly the same stresses.

How about Florence?
