Help[Opinions] Re: Florian
in reply to a message by Olwen
I think it's usable because it reminds me of names like Damian and Dorian and Fabian, which I consider usable, but at the same time, it sticks out.
Vaguely, I always imagine a guy wearing brocade when I hear it. It sounds ostentatious or foppish, I guess because of "floral" and "florid", plus I don't have much reference for it as a name...more specifically/randomly, it reminds me of the scene in 1776 when Edward Rutledge sings "Molasses to Rum" (about the slave trade), in which he's wearing a vest with floral embroidery...and maybe related to that, it sounds old-fashioned or kind of uptight, similar to how Benedict or Ephraim would, to me.
