Hi all! What do you think of the name Flora? DH is a little phased by the butter but I think it's beautiful

I absolutely love it! My DH is exactly the same and won’t let me have it but I think it’s just beautiful!

Wilma55 · 06/09/2021 15:06

First thing I thought of was the spread.

LiveSimply · 06/09/2021 15:06

I love it :) what a beautiful name!

Queryquestion · 06/09/2021 15:07

It's lovely but just too buttery.

emmathedilemma · 06/09/2021 15:10

Love it!

WhoppingBigBackside · 06/09/2021 16:03

Lovely.

ofwarren · 06/09/2021 16:05

Margerine or a name for a cow unfortunately.

LizzieAnt · 06/09/2021 16:41

Love Flora.

MolesandVoles · 06/09/2021 16:47

Flora is lovely.

GrannyPantsAreGreat · 06/09/2021 16:53

I love it so much, It's beautiful. I also like Clover.
Goddam crappy spreads, see, this is why we should all just eat butter instead of ruining perfectly lovely names.

Bullying about spreading easily would def put me off.
Boys can be vile remember..

Quercus3 · 06/09/2021 17:02

Love it. It's on my list if I'm lucky enough to have another daughter.

Smurftastic · 06/09/2021 17:03

Margarine. Sorry. Also makes me think of 'Flora and Fauna'.

Maui69 · 06/09/2021 17:04

I think it's pretty

mayblossominapril · 06/09/2021 17:04

It was one of my favourites, DP couldn’t get past the spread.

Chartreusegreen · 06/09/2021 17:10

On toast

ZiaMcnab · 06/09/2021 17:18

I think it's a lovely name! I went to (secondary) school with a Flora (too many years ago to mention - long after the spread went on sale, though!) and she never had any trouble with bullying of any description and certainly not about her name.

BroccoliFloret · 06/09/2021 17:21

DD has a friend called Flora and she's lovely!

It fits neatly into the "unusual but not weird and wacky" category.

ShouldersBackChestOutChinUp · 06/09/2021 17:31

Beautiful.

Have never bought or eaten Flora spread so I'd be happy to use it.

ShuddaBeenMe · 06/09/2021 17:52

My friend got loads of spreads easily bullying. It's nice but I can't get past that.

daisypond · 06/09/2021 18:00

I like it

ActonSquirrel · 06/09/2021 18:01

Floor sound puts me off.

GoodnightGrandma · 06/09/2021 18:02

No, it’s a margarine.

Needaholidayx2 · 06/09/2021 19:29

Yep, I hear echos of DH in your replies! He has the same issue with Stella, which I like too as he often stocks up on the booze. I do think Flora is so gorgeous! 😢

But I must add, DH has a link to every single name, be it a sports person, food, drink or even "rhymes with X"... 🤣 driving me mad!
