Re: Florian

It makes me think of artisan ice cream (because of Florean Fortescue's Ice-Cream Parlour).
It also reminds me of things that are stylish to the point that they're overdone...foppish...ostentacious...florid...which is great, if that's what you're looking for.
Here's my top 10 from the list...
Florian Bernard
Florian Cosmo
Florian Edgar
Florian Giles
Florian Isaac
Florian Ivo
Florian Pascal
Florian Percival
Florian Silvester
Florian Theo
Florian Bernard is by far my favorite. It's kind of awesome.

Interesting Thought!
I can entirely relate with your comment about "stylish to the point of overdone" - as it is sometimes difficult to relate with baroque music / art due to the degree of ornamentation--a stylistic convention of that day which does not so easily translate into modern conventions. This conventional characteristic manifests ubiquitously, and when we compare our generation with that of the former era - we seem stripped bare. Philosophical thought amidst these differing eras mirrors this comparative notion as well. Interesting thought!
