I have just come across the marriage of a Flower Fry and an Edward Woddy in Hampshire, England, in 1740. I stared at the name Flower, and then at other names on the image, for some time to make sure that I was not misreading the clergymen's eighteenth century handwriting and that the bride's name was in fact Honor or Honour. But no, my eyes did not deceive me! Flower Fry she was.
Fleur and Flora work. Ergo, Flower could work. People here are quick to laugh off anything they haven't come across in real life themselves without stopping to try and put their finger on the real aspect of the name they find so ludicrous. Flower does sound like a hippy name, I'll admit. Many names do. Personally, I like it in the middle spot. It's also a surname in the history of many couples so no doubt it comes up for consideration there.
