It’s amiable and I like it.

I like this name a lot, it has grown on me so much recently. I do love floral and nature names, so it’s no surprise that I’d like this one I guess!

I think it’s cute. Not really my taste, but it’s not bad.

Very charming, with wonderful associations and a pleasant sound.

It's nice. I think it benefits from sounding like Laura. It might have an over-blown (as a flower gone a little past its full bloom) or garish aspect to it, like Ruby and Florence, but that doesn't make me dislike it the way I do those names. The sound of Flora just seems nicer. Since Pluma was mentioned in the other thread I'm getting a similar feeling between Flora and Pluma. They're a little bold, like Ava or Rosa, but also seem gentle/natural like Hazel or Willa.

It’s pretty, if a little on the frilly side.

I love it! It's a timeless classic that isn't dull. :)

I think it's a very pretty name. It seems to have a 50s retro style.

It isn't my favorite, but it isn't the worst, either.

Don't like it

It is sweet, earthy, and feminine. When I was younger, I thought it sounded too soft, but, as an adult, I've come to value its gentleness more.

It's the most popular brand of margarine in the UK, so I can never use it.
Without that association, it's a pretty name.

It was my great grandmas name, we always called her Grandma Flo. I think it’s very old lady and blah. I don’t really remember her much, she died when I was 12 and had Alzheimer’s or something like that and she lived in a home. But anyways... I think the name is kinda boring and old lady-ish.

It's gonna be a rising lil star. Like Nora etc but more whimsical and fae.

Do you have a particular reason for thinking it's going to be rising lil star? It's still nowhere to be seen in the US top thousand, although of course we don't have last year's data yet.

Because everyone thinks it’s unobjectionable, it has a lot of elements common to other fashionable names but is also distinct in Unobjectionable ways, and there was a cute contestant on great British bake off named Flora who did really well. It’s like Luna a bit.

Makes me think of the fairy in "Sleeping Beauty", which is not exactly a negative connotation but not exactly a positive one, either. Also it's always sounded clunky to me. Also ironic, as I always picture a Flora being the last person in the world who would make you think of flowers.

I think Flora is really pretty and fairly uncommon, but not super rare, which I like. It was at the top of my list for a while, but now it's been surpassed by Louisa and Greta. I also like how it is a subtle floral name, not super flowery, like Gardenia or Peony, or something. All in all, I think it is a nice name.
