What do you guys think of the name Flora?

My mum hates it. She cringes whenever I say it. My sister doesn't really care, and my best friend can't see it on a real person.

You?

i have a friend whose name is Nicole Flora..Flora after her grandmother. that's the only time i've ever heard it.

i guess it could be pretty

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I envy that fact that she has that name.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Thank you!
I'd been wondering what was so significant about Nevaeh. And now I know!

And it's a refreshing change from the girl-Stevies and Vicktoreyas.

I think the name Flora is rather pretty.

[space-monkey340.livejournal.com]

I think it's pretty. I suggested it as a possibility for our new baby, but it got the paternal veto.

[secret-x-stars.livejournal.com]

I just imagined someone yelling the name around a playground to find their kid, and imagined attendance on the first day of school, and it doesn't seem outrageous. :)

It's a nice name!

[septembergrrl.livejournal.com]

It's not really my taste, but I think it would fit in with a lot of the more old-fashioned names people are using now. (Anna, Lily, Ella, etc.)

[snailrevolution.livejournal.com]

Flora is very pretty. :)

For similar names, I rather like Fiona.

[031307.livejournal.com]

Flora's actually my middle name. It was passed down, as it was my grandmother's middle name. And if I can find another name it could possibly flow with nicely, I may pass it down myself.

Oh, okay.
That's understandable.
I've plenty of names that are nice to me, but not my favourite.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Oh, good!

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Too bad! :[
I can't wait to use the name.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

It's nice to see agreements.
I'm glad I'm not the only one who likes this name.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

And it's not as trendy as Ella, which is a plus.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Fiona's actually really pretty.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I think you should!

I worked with a Flora, she was nice and I think the name is pretty, but everybody called her "Flor" which is like.. Floor, as in the carpet. So for that reason alone I don't like it so much.

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

Sleeping Beauty. And "fauna."

Blech.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I never realized that there was a fairy of the name in Sleeping Beauty. Ha.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Ohh, there are some nicknames you'd need to work out.
Unless you'd take the 'Sara' route and just call the person by their full name...?

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Fauna?

[sarahrose.livejournal.com]

"Flora and fauna."

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

I really like Flora!

Florence has drifted on and off of my list. If I were to use it, I'd want my daughter's nickname to be Flora. I would hate it if she were called Flo.

[poespretty.livejournal.com]

Flora, Fauna & Merriweather (sp?) are the 3 fairies. that's actually the first thing I thought of when I heard it.

I'm not crazy over it but it's ok.

and I actually knew a Flora & a Floribeth -called Flory(I know not exactly the same but just to point out that IRL it doesn't seem so Disney-ish). both were of Hispanic descent.

[krosp.livejournal.com]

I think Flora is a really pretty name... except it reminds me of Sleeping Beauty, and is also a brand of margarine here. Otherwise I would probably like it.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Floribeth - :|

At least Flora is the best of the faeries (name wise)?

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Ohhh.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Exactly!
I was talking with my mum and she said despite the name being icky, it's better than Flora. And I agreed saying, I'm sure there isn't any good nickname for Flora.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Oh, dang.
Margarine?

[lastcastle.livejournal.com]

It's fine. I'm not in love with it but I think it's interesting and quirky. It isn't my favorite of the -ora names, but they're kind of in now, with the old lady trend going on, so... ( I love Thora, and I think Dora, Cora, and Nora are nice too--I had a hard time thinking of Dora and Nora on a child at first, but if you actually imagine it on a cute little girl it's darling and entirely appropriate (like Emma, say)).

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking of the -ora/h names yesterday.
My top favourites are Cora, Norah, Thora and obviously Flora.

[straight-outta.livejournal.com]

you know what? i think it is beautiful.

[sherball.livejournal.com]

Fauna?

would never use it. knew a guy whose aunt was named Flora.. never really seemed like a 'real'name.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Yay!
I'm so glad you think so.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

Exactly what my friend said, ha ha.

[hotchpot.livejournal.com]

You're having a D-Day baby!

Just think of all the wonderful names you can work with: Ike, or Juno, or Nan or Mike or Winston...

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

I like Dean too. It's my nephew's name.

[queen-mab.livejournal.com]

Reminds me of Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather from Sleeping Beauty. It's ok, but Sleeping Beauty and the little old fairy immediately came to mind when I saw it. =\

[abandoneddream.livejournal.com]

Yeah! My son actually came right on his due date; maybe this baby will, too.

[omgzits--tam.livejournal.com]

And... that's good or not so good?
