Flora

[ihaveaheadache]

What does everyone think of the name Flora? I love it and am considering it for my baby (if it's a girl obviously)

Just need some opinions. DH is a bit useless...

I love it. DH hates it.

margarine to me I'm afraid

what about Fleur?

or Fern?

I really like it, love it in fact.

I know a few Floras. I really don't like it, sorry.

ditto Florence.

(Flora = margarine = easy to spread. Not nice for a young lady to have a name with such connotations )

Love it! I have a Flora

Most people say they think it a lovely name, and no one ever mentions margarine (to our faces, anyway ). Do people still eat Flora marge anyway? Hideous stuff.

marg - no

Freya
Fleur
Florence
Faye
Felicity - Flick
Fern

???

I really like Clover too

Flora is cute, i bet people will think marge

I love it
doesn't make me think of marge - I'm a butter lady I'll have you know!

lol at Brightfield tho

Love Flora, was my cat's name ( would have considered using for a girl otherwise).
We were constantly asked how it was spelt "as in the margarine?" but still liked all the same.

Nice.

if I was introduced to a little Flora I would not in a million years think marg. tis muck anyway.

very good name choice.

I loved it and it was on my shortlist for our second daughte. Flora is the goddess of spring and she was due end Feb/early March so quite appropriate. DH said she would get called Marg though so it put me off. I think if I ever had another I would choose it though as still love it.

Flora is a lovely name

Flora's lovely. And there's nothing wrong with Marg as a name either!

I know two Floras. Both 30, both tall, blonde, beautiful and posh. Both love their name and not fazed by spreading puns...

I have a Flora too - she is 28, tall, beautiful, posh but brunette.

Thanks everyone, some great feedback on this name. I love it so much and can't seem to love any other girls name as much at the moment...now all I have to do is convince dh!

I LOVE this name but when I once said that as a potential name for my DS1 (at the time not sure if boy or girl!) she said "flora spread your legs" which really upset me.

I still think it's a beautiful name

Flora gorgeous lovely balanced two-syllable name. Freya ditto without the margarine connotations. x

Spreads easily.

I love it.

Another spreader.
