Fleur Delacour means 'flower of the court' in French.-- miraclegirl80 8/22/2005
Fleur Delacour actually means flower of the heart.-- Anonymous User 2/8/2007
The name Fleur Delacour actually does mean "flower of the court". The French word for heart is "le coeur", which sounds similar but is a completely different word. Also "la cour" is grammatically feminine, whereas "le coeur" is grammatically masculine.
This is not a common name at all, and I have never before heard it used.-- Bastien Rosier 3/13/2008
Fleur Delacour's middle name is Isabelle.-- Anonymous User 8/6/2011
In the Alchemy, a book by Gilbert Morris and Lynn Morris, there is a character named Fleur Avenall.-- Anonymous User 9/28/2005
My daughter would be Fleur, as her name is a delicate yet beautiful name for a strong girl like my daughter. Long live the name Fleur and my daughter too.-- hanzdouglas 10/6/2006
I first saw this name in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I really love it and think it's so pretty. I love French names, they're so delicate and beautiful.-- Anonymous User 10/23/2006
I love this name, it is so sweet and innocent!-- Anonymous User 11/20/2006
Just listen to it! It reminds me of McFlurry at McDonald's.-- Tango 2/23/2007
Liked this name a lot better before Fleur from Harry Potter came about. She created one of those associations I don't like. The name is still awesome though.-- YMPvt 3/21/2007
It's a bit frilly, but still I like it.-- Surreal 7/21/2007
Fleur is a gorgeous name. :) So French and perfect.-- hanzdouglas 7/25/2007
Why is the usage English when this is a French word and name? [noted -ed]-- bobcat_explorer 8/5/2007
I have learned not to trust this site too much when it comes to the usage of a name. A lot of English names are used in the Netherlands as well and that's never stated here. I've never actually met a French girl named Fleur but I'm sure they use it, it's very nice!-- renee06 8/29/2007
Between 1900-2006, 3421 babies were named Fleur in France. 158 in 2006. A very uncommon but old French name. St Fleur of Beaulieu (also known as Flora) is notable as is the Harry Potter character.-- Anonymous User 1/24/2008
This name may have a cute meaning, but it sounds flat out ugly. It also sounds quite pretentious in English usage, and I once got exposed to the cruel, cold-hearted, nasty writing of a Scottish poet with this name (her surname escapes me). Now the name always makes me think of the visceral reaction I got to her writing and attitude.-- slight night shiver 4/22/2008
A variation on this name is Blancefleur, one of the main characters in "Floris and Blancefleur". It's a medieval Dutch love story.-- Lilia Nigra 4/26/2008
Can either sound really pretty or really pretentious. Depends on the bearer, I guess. I happen to like it.-- amishigloo 6/25/2008
Nice idea, but it sounds horrible in English. Fluuurrr. Like "Urgh". Or a bit like Claire in a Scouse accent. It also gives off a pretentious, precious vibe. Plus, it reminds me of a character I found really, really irritating on Home and Away, oh, about 10 years ago, but she was that annoying that I see her face when I hear the name! I do like Fleur Delacour in Harry Potter, though!-- aquamarina 8/4/2008
Very pretty. Sounds fine in an English accent.-- Anonymous User 8/25/2008
Prominent New Zealand-born, British-based poet Fleur Adcock (b. 1934), recipient of the Queen's Medal for Poetry in 2006.-- Jonquil 10/15/2008
I think this is one of the prettiest one-syllable female names; I like the fact that it has historic roots, having been used occasionally in Angevin England owing to Norman influence, and is not a mere concoction of John Galsworthy.-- Jonquil 10/15/2008
I think the original fictional bearer was Fleur Forsyte, daughter of Soames and Annette, in John Galsworthy's "The Forsyte Saga" published in the 1920s.-- Jonquil 3/22/2009
This name is ugly. It looks like the Dutch name Floor, only pronounced in a "fancy" way. This name makes me think of a snooty faux-French girl who is obsessed with fashion and poodles.-- bananarama 4/19/2009
Beautiful. Makes me think of some medieval Norman beauty.-- Anonymous User 4/26/2009
American writer Fleur Cowles (1908-2009). Her birth name was Florence Friedmann.-- Jonquil 6/10/2009
