Help[Opinions] Re: Florian
in reply to a message by Olwen
According to the stats it's not just usable, it's popular - but not in English-speaking countries, presumably because three-syllable names tend to get shortened and the most obvious English shortening of Florian would be Flory/Florrie. And I can't see that appealing to your average boy here much, unless he were a particularly, um, florid type of dude.
It's a nice enough sound though, and I do like it.

In the small town where we lived until I was 8, there was a Florian. However I didn't know this was his name until I was an adult and was told by my mom. He was known to everyone as Flindy. Not sure of the spelling.

Julians already have a short version though - here, they're mostly Jules/Joolz/pick your spelling, which is a bit less girly or at least comfortably unisex.
'Floors' is not much better than Florrie :)
