I have been going back and forth between [name_f]Flora[/name_f] for a while now. I love the name, but I feel like it might be too hard to wear. However, I’ve been liking it more and more lately.
My favorite combos are [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f], [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Esme[/name_f], and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f].
I like [name_f]Flora[/name_f], and I don’t think it’s at all hard to wear. It’s not common, but not unheard of either, here in the UK. I prefer [name_f]Florence[/name_f] personally, but that’s so popular over here that [name_f]Flora[/name_f] would be a great alternative for someone looking for a similar-sounding but less common name.
My favourite combos:
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] (but [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_u]Cameron[/name_u]'s daughter is [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] - too close?)
I love [name_f]Flora[/name_f] and have so for the past 4 or so years, it’s a name I always come back to. I love the vintage vibe, the classic and feminine-yet-strong sound; the flowery imagery that isn’t too sweet, too childish or too frilly.
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] reminds me of a big old English manor with a wild flower garden and a little child with dark hair in a peter pan collar dress and knee socks skip roping through said garden.
From your combos I like
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f]*
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Isolde[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_u]Eloise[/name_u]

[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Mabel[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Constance[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Maude[/name_f]
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]*
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f]*
*these are on my own list with [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Penelope[/name_f] (I love the nn “[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Nell[/name_f]”) and [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Matilda[/name_f] being my favourites
@katinka: Oh no… I had forgotten about [name_m]David[/name_m] [name_u]Cameron[/name_u]'s daughter. It might be why [name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Endellion[/name_f] just seemed to fit. Still, I really do like it and don’t mind it being somewhat close. I’ll have to put some more thought into it.
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] [name_f]Thomasin[/name_f] is adorable! I love it.
