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. People will always find something to poke fun at with every name, or if not the name something else.

I would go for it, in fact I'm going to add it to my list. I love Clover too

Very pretty, but bear in mind that she might spend her life afraid of doing anything pro-active...

Well she'd be growing up in a household of butter eaters so won't get the marg insults...can't believe people eat margarine anyway, yuck!

My teenage Flora has never had any problems worth speaking about regarding the margarine associations, I had never heard of the spreads easily strapline anyway, only read about it on Mumsnet!

She is named for the Scottish connections, Flora MacDonald was the Jacobite heroine who rescued Bonnie Prince Charlie and she was brunette!In both her previous and current large schools she has been the only Flora.
