Sorry but the margarine springs to mind when I hear that...

It's pretty. Quite popular at the moment. A bit posh?

Not my cup of tea I'm afraid!

I love it - I would love a DD called Flora

compo · 22/02/2009 21:01

love it

PussinJimmyChoos · 22/02/2009 21:01

Sorry

If it makes you feel any better though, regarding your DH not liking the name, I can remembering when I was pg with DS, at the time we didn't know what we were having. I said to my mum oh I like Amirah or Asma if its a girl....she said oh Amirah sounds like a mirror and Asma like asthma....

SoupDragon · 22/02/2009 21:01

How about Marge as a middle name?

Cies · 22/02/2009 21:01

I like it.

But I do think of Flora spread.

And Jilly Cooper novels.

LadyGlencoraPalliser · 22/02/2009 21:02

Love it.

cutekids · 22/02/2009 21:04

What about Fleur instead?Flora does conjure up margarine tubs for me.SORRY!

Guadalupe · 22/02/2009 21:05

It's quite sweet, but a no-go if your dh hates it, no?

Dh hated one of the names I've always loved for a boy. Very annoying. I might have a goldfish called it one day.

Flora is quite nice

Rosie (I'm biased)
Daisy
Poppy

Sorry, thinking of other 'floral' names.

Stretch · 22/02/2009 21:15

WinkyWinkola · 22/02/2009 21:25

Flora is a fantastic name.

And amongst her generation, who will think of the magarine? (Magarine - yeeeuch)
