I love it! I like Florin even more though!

It sounds like a name from a fantasy novel.

I love it! It's so dashing and sensitive and subtly baroque.
I also love the whimsical Florizel.

Hi !!!
I love it !
I rate it 9/10.
I would use it as MN in the future!
Simply, floreal, delicate for the meaning but with a strong and fascinating sound!

I love Florian! It's just so lovely. My SO doesn't like it though, he says "too flowery for a boy" So I'll never get to use it. :(

I kind of love it. It has the Disney/fairytale association that makes me think of Prince Charming. However, I feel like it's more of a guilty pleasure name rather than something I'd actually use.

Ehh. I'm personally not a fan of it, but I'm pretty sure many others like it. Don't like how it sounds (especially the "flor" part) or how it's spelled.

I like the sound of it; it's popular in quite a few countries; there have been a few born here; some people may remember Florian Fortescue from HP, and thus be at least a little familiar with it; and Julian, Adrian & Fabian are still charting here.
Three-syllable names do tend to get shortened though, even if just occasionally. And it's tricky to shorten.

Sorry, but I don't care for Florian at all. In Austria this was crazy common in the 80s and early 90s and I know lots of guys with this name. Fabian was equally common and I'm just sick by the sounds of both of these names. I also think of Game of Thrones and the character of Florian the fool. Florian always sounded a bit foolish to me so I thought it fit perfectly. Sorry, I wish I could say something nice about it. But I do kind of like Florentine and Florentina for a girl.

Love it! Not used enough..
That said, I overheard someone being called it recently (my parents live near a fairly alternative town. I've also encountered a Thisbe and an Octavian there).
His friends pronounced it to rhyme with 'sorry' rather than 'floor', which I thought was nice, and more masculine. I'd always assumed it sounded like Dorian
