I liked Guy. Sadly ds arrived on November the 5th and thought better of it!!
And he is well sick of fireworks he days every year!

I really like Guy. It’s a great name. Fleur is nice but I do prefer Flora. Maybe it’s the sound of Fleur - urgh - that slightly puts me off.

Both are fine. I like Guy a lot but Fleur is nicer if you sound your Rs

Always hated fleur I think it sounds really ugly

I like both Guy and Fleur. I I saw siblings called Guy and Fleur, I’d assume the French pronunciation for Guy though. Do you like the Gye or Gee pronunciation?

I think they're beautiful.

Love Guy, and underused

Fleur just makes me think bluurrgghh so no from me

AuntieStella · 11/06/2021 15:38

I think Guy is a lovely name.

I'm not keen on Fleur

IslandLulu · 11/06/2021 15:44

Nice names

HoldingTheDoor · 11/06/2021 15:53

Fleur is ok.

Guy is awful. It's such a non name, unless you're French. It's like calling him Boy or Man. It doesn't have a pleasant sound either.

I love Guy. In fact, after naming DS we regretted not using Guy, so, when he was 7, we went to a solicitor and got it added as another second name. It cost £40. DS was quite happy, and DH was too, as I was beginning to talk about having a fourth child and naming it Guy if it was a boy. Everyone was happy.

Prefer Gus to Guy- it has more substance.

Fleur is beautiful and I like Flora too Grin

TatianaBis · 11/06/2021 21:41

I like Guy, not so keen on Fleur.

So many actual flower names are prettier.

VenusClapTrap · 11/06/2021 23:52

Love both.

Arrierttyclock · 12/06/2021 09:15

These are both on my list I love them! I don't think they work together though. Shame because they're great names!

Ikeameatballs · 12/06/2021 09:17

I like Guy but not Fleur.

Jeschara · 12/06/2021 17:43

I love the name Guy. Can take or leave Fleur.
