Florian is a little snooty to me, probably because the only one I'm aware of is the French judge on one of the baking shows on the food network. It's not bad though, but the Flor- obviously brings to mind floral, flowers, which isn't something a lot of people are into for boys.
I did briefly work with a girl named
Florianne (apparently called "
Flo" by friends, but she was just
Florianne at work) and I don't get the same impression from
Florianne [f] that I do from
Florian [m].
