Flora?

Thoughts on Flora Green?
Obviously Green is the surname.

Flora is an amazing name.

Never had the margarine - don't eat that crap - so would never make that association.

Sorry I didn't explain myself, Im not interested in thoughts on the name Flora on its own, I was hoping for thoughts on the name paired with the surname Green.

Love the name Flora! Reminds me of Cold Comfort Farm. I think if you love it use it. Florence Green does somehow sound slightly better together, but there's nothing wrong with Flora Green and I definitely prefer the name Flora. I would go for it.

Flora is a perfectly usual name in my part of the country and a nice one, but I'm afraid it doesnt sound great with green to me. I think there's too much of a link between the 2 and it does perhaps sound like a vegan version of the margarine. I agree Florence is a great alternative and you could use Flora for a nick name

It’s ok but I prefer Thora.

I don't really like Flora Green. I like Flora as name, just think with surname Green it's bad. It makes all jokes about the name hit harder.

But, I heard you can give your child any surname you want in Britain. Maybe you can check this out with a lawyer, because I only heard this on this forum.
But may be simpler to use different first name.

Flora Green is perfectly lovely. Green is the type of surname that goes with almost any name, but definitely deserves a first name of more than one syllable. She sounds fresh, bright and capable to me.

Thought of this years ago, but my brother quoted an old ad: 'Flora - spreads easily'
So that was the end of that.

I think it's fine, if a bit eco-sounding.
Jade or Emerald sprang to mind as possible names

Lovely classic name.
But paired with Green it does bring to mind a vegan margarine rather.
What about Florence? Flo? Or google 'floral names' - many lovely flower names.

Works fine with Green imo

I think Flora is beautiful and it’s probably my all time favourite girls name but I wouldn’t use it with Green, sorry.

Specifically with the surname I think it's too reminiscent of the margarine, sounds like a vegan version. Its the overall impression, obviously it's an acceptable name and doesn't spell out an advertising slogan or anything rude but I think is just a bit too well known a plant based product for the inference not to be a bit of a joke. Sorry. I know you like it but I would probably go with another choice or a variant like Florence or Fleur

It just reminds me of the butter, sorry.

What about Florrie, Florence, etc?

I love it, I had it lined up for one of mine who turned out to be a boy!

Much prefer Florance, nn Flora. Especially with Green as a surname- sound like a cleaning brand as mentioned above.

I love Flora and know three (aged 8, 4 and 1) but I don't think it works very well with Green.

If the surname is Green I would choose Laura over Flora, sounds similar but less like a butter.

Floria is very cute or you could go for Flore or Florrie which are variations of it x

Spreads easily is vile but wood put me off.

Flora Green sounds like a florist.

I love the name Flora but Flora Green sounds too naturey to me. Like you either didn't realise the connotation or were tree-huggers. It's not too bad but there might be some smirks through her life.

Fleur?

Personally I don't like it with Green, its a bit 'planty' and makes me think of Zoflora with the green label

I love it!!

The first thing that comes to mind for me is vaginal flora, yeast infections 😩 I like it but as a nurse I feel like I have too many connotations
