My sisters name is Marlene Faye Flora. I think it's a nice name, she got it for the meaning and to honour her dad, Florian.

I see Rowan as a girls name. I think the sibset would be nice, I don't see what would be wrong with it, except that their names would mean "little red flower" together.

I love Flora, but I doubt I'll ever use it because (being a nurse) it brings to mind bacterial flora, and seems like it would possibly be teased. I don't think the "theme" using Rowan/Flora or Rowan/Laurel is overly cutesy, it's just subtle enough. Not like using Lily & Daisy for sisters, for example. However, Rowan is unisex and more modern sounding for a girl while Flora is very feminine and old-fashioned, so the two don't 'match' terribly well, imo. But Rowan and Laurel are fine, since Laurel isn't as "feminine" sounding as Flora. Does that make sense?

I love the name Flora, but I'm not sure if I like Flora and Rowan as a sibset. Flora has that old-fashioned appeal and Rowan is definately more modern.

I think having a "boyish" name paired with a floral girly name for sisters feels a little off balance to me. Also, Flora is not my style but I LOVE Fiona which has a similar feel. WDYT of Fiona? Fiona and Rowan seem to suit well for some reason.

I dont care for Flora and would pick Laurel. I love Rowan on a girl and I love Rowan and Laurel together.
