Come on, this name doesn't deserve all the hate. I personally like it. I love the meaning because it's related to flower, the ette makes it unique, and I like Fleur.
So I'm a "ditzy American girl now"? Just because my name (isn't this one) but ends in -ette? That's a little-close minded considering my name is French. I understand you're Finnish and maybe not so culturally aware, but I wish you'd think a little more before you respond. But that's beyond my control, since everyone's entitled to their own opinion.

The suffix "-ette" is an actual French suffix. Not that I'm defending this name, since it's French for both "floret" and "whipping cream." Not used frequently in the francophone world.
A guilty pleasure of mine. I find this a wonderfully pompous name, fit for a Marie Antoinette-esque character in a story, but strangely pretty anyway. Although I would never name a child this--maybe a cat, though, one of those big cats with the fluffy white fur.
