[Opinions] Re: Flora
in reply to a message by Olwen
I didn't know it was a medical terminology and I'm guessing that most people who are not in the medical field will. I wouldn't mind it if it were my name because like you said it's an already established name. Flora makes me think of spring and the Roman goddess of flowers. I'm also sometimes reminded of Sleeping Beauty but that was actually my least watched Disney princess movie as a child. I like the association, however.
I've heard the butter reference too but it doesn't bother me because I'm in the US. Flora is pretty high up on my list and I think it's very usable. I don't think I will ever have a daughter named Flora though. I have combo I LOVE but I think it's just because of the MN I have her paired with. My SO doesn't love her either. It's great name overall and I'd love to see it used!
