Re: Florian
in reply to a message by Orsino
I also knew a French guy named Florian, as well as a Spanish-/possibly French-American Florian. I love the name, and the fact that I've met someone English-speaking with it makes me think it works in English. I agree that Florian is handsome (although I'd probably use the word "dashing"; for me, that's one of the best qualities for a male name). I do like slightly old-fashioned, foreign, and not traditionally strong-sounding male names, though, so I don't know how many other English-speakers would agree that it's fine in English.
