I really like this, though DH says DD will get called "margarine" or the like.. What do you think?
Ta!

I agree with your DH

mamaduckbone · 02/12/2009 15:06

Sorry - I do too. It is a lovely old fashioned name but too much association with margarine. Maybe 100 years ago...

SuperSoph73 · 02/12/2009 15:08

Agree with your DH too. Don't do it for the littlun's sake.

Flora=Spreads easily.

Like the name in itself, but couldn't get over that..

Ah, time for the weekly Flora thread.

Yes: it's margarine.

Fleur is nice..

?

(Sorry..)

Ha ha ha @sweetsherry - good thinking, that would be hell in the playground. Shame, it's a sweet, classic name otherwise!

nothing wrong with Flora - yes there will be a bit of teasing, but kids will find any excuse to tease.
I got 'spreads easily', 'flora margarine' and 'flora proactive' as my teasing, hasn't done me any harm.

(sorry, very defensive of my name )

LOVE IT! That's the name I've chosen for this baby on the way if a girl. I don't know anyone who eats marg anyway and as far as i'm concerned, anyone who would be so rude as to even mention the 'spreads easily' thing, well,

VengefulKitty · 02/12/2009 22:30

Definitely margarine....

sunshinejanuary · 03/12/2009 10:44

ilovesprouts · 03/12/2009 10:55
