What's everyone's thought on the name Flora-belle or Florabelle?

It’s a bit frilly for my taste.

DramaAlpaca · 06/07/2021 21:05

I'm sorry but it's awful without the hyphen and even worse with.

It sounds like an Aldi or Lidl own brand too.

RevolvingPivot · 06/07/2021 21:05

Sounds like an air freshener

Sounds like a nickname. Too flouncy. Sorry Smile

SiobhanSharpe · 06/07/2021 21:08

Oh dear. Either Flora or Belle would be much better.

wanderedlonelyasacloud · 06/07/2021 21:09

I've heard of rosabella as a name before so dont see why you couldn't use florabelle. I wouldn't put a hyphen in though.

Or how about Flora Belle as a first name and middle name?

toastofthetown · 06/07/2021 21:17

Way too frilly. The hyphen takes away from the elegant simplicity of Flora.

DelphiniumBlue · 06/07/2021 21:19

It's a nickname. You could have a baby Flora and call her Florabelle as a family name.

Frazzled2207 · 06/07/2021 21:20

No.
I love Flora though.

Amdone123 · 06/07/2021 21:22

Flora is lovely.
Florabelle is awful.

BoomChicka · 06/07/2021 21:22

Sounds like a cleaning product.

PotteringAlong · 06/07/2021 21:22

Flora is beautiful. Go with flora,

Chachachawoo · 06/07/2021 22:32

I love the name Flora
Don't mind the name Belle
Together it's a bit much for my taste

Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo · 06/07/2021 22:34

Flora is nice. Works well with Belle as middle name but not as one name.

championthewonderhorse70 · 06/07/2021 22:36

Nope sounds like cheap spread sorry

This! Just don't
VodselForDinner · 06/07/2021 22:37

Is it not a Lidl range of toilet cleaner?

CatchThatCat · 06/07/2021 22:38

It reminds me of Fluoride or I agree perhaps an air freshener. I know not helpful as not the same but I too love Flora though

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 06/07/2021 22:39

It does sound a bit of a mash up (probably because Flora and Belle are so well known on their own) so it's not my taste.

But you might like traditional Christabel or Mirabel instead, if the usual Isabel and Annabel are too popular?

MrsFin · 06/07/2021 22:39

Flora - fine
Belle - fine
Flora-Belle - bloody awful
Florabelle - awful
Flora Belle surname - just bearable

MrsFin · 06/07/2021 22:40

Florabel would be better although I still don't like it

Yellowmoons · 06/07/2021 22:46

Horribly frilly.

Florence?
Fleur?

Rapskallion · 06/07/2021 22:47

Definitely not with the hyphen.

RaininSummer · 06/07/2021 22:57

Sorry but it makes me think of a girl like violet Elizabeth bott. All ringlets, squeaky voice and unbelievably irritating. Flora alone is nice.
