What do you guys think about the name Flora nickname Flo? How would you compare it to Florence? Do you automatically think 'fauna'?

If she has a sibling who has a kid she becomes Aunt Flo.

Flora and Florence are both old lady names to me. When I hear Flora I do think Fauna, and I like Fauna better.

Well I don't automatically think fauna or aunt flo, but I'm French so my references are different I guess...I love Florence, my cousin named her kid that. I also like Florie but Flora is just okay for me.

I like Flora a lot better than Florence.

I think Flora is pretty and I prefer it to Florence, but for me Flo = Aunt Flo.

I like the name Flora, but dislike Florence, and I would not use the nickname Flo. Maybe Floey (which, okay, looks really weird spelled out), or like someone else said above, Florie. And you know, Flora is not that long of a name so maybe it doesn't need a nickname.

Love Flora, hate Flo. I think it's fine on it's own, no need for a nn. I like it much better than Florence, too.

[ahavah]

I really like Flora, but I don't like Flo at all. Yes, Aunt Flo and the weird Progressive lady come to mind, but mostly I just don't like the sound and Flora is short and pretty on its own.

I like Flora, but I dislike Flo for the associations mentioned above lol

I like Flora but not Flo...

I actually strangely enough like Florence. Flo is a no go though (I didn't intend for that to all rhyme) for me, as I think of the Progressive Lady and also my period.

I love Flora, but hate the nickname Flo..."vlo" is the Dutch word for "flea" so that's a very unfortunate connotation.

I personally don't automatically think "fauna" =).

I love Florence too...but I think I prefer Flora.

Flora is pretty but Flo is such an ugly nickname to ruin it with. I do prefer Florence.

Flora is pretty; don't automatically think of Aunt Flo when I hear the nickname. This is probably because my grandmother's name is Florence and her vanity license plate said "Flo."

I actually prefer Flora over Florence.

I think of the fairies from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. I don't think Flora needs a nickname.
