This name is gorgeous, great as a short form of Florence, or (less pretty in my opinion) as a long form of Floss, Flossie, Flo etc. I love that it means flower, as though a bearer of the name will be as pretty and delicate and sweet as a flower. Some pretty combinations are: · Flora Charlotte · Elizabeth Flora · Flora Emily · Emily Flora · Flora Autumn · Isabelle Flora · Flora Isabelle/a · Flora Maisie · Elanor Flora · Flora Ellen.
In 2018, 80 is the most common age for an American (U.S.) Flora who is registered female with the Social Security Administration. It is the 1, 113th most common female first name for living U.S. citizens.
Flora is a nurse hamster from the anime Hamtaro. Stan has a huge crush on her. (Unlike other girls Stan has flirted with, Flora seems to like him back.)
Flora is a fresh, colorful name, no one can resist the delightful mood of the name Flora. I like it very much. And currently, Flora Italy is a name for a luxurious skincare, that added much to my skin glow, and I think that is because OF THE NAME FLORA, makes you feel serenity.

I'm not a fan of this name. It reminds me of gut Flora.
I would definitely have used this name as it's a family name but then the man who invented Flora margarine named it after his wife's middle name, and ruined it for the rest of the UK, because let's face it, no girl or woman wants to be associated with the word 'spread'. It is such a shame, as I love the meaning, the goddess connection and it's short, flows well and is feminine. I disagree with people disliking it because of Flo, it's like people shortening Laura to Low. I mean come on, it's only 2 syllables!
@queen_vic 1/20/2015 I agree, I'm from the UK and the Flora margarine assoociation is quite a damn shame for people over here who really adore this name. I would love to use this name. I'm not sure if I'm brave enough to use it though.

Still needs to be actually listed in Scottish names.
8 Flora is an asteroid that was discovered by J. R. Hind on October 18, 1847. It is named after Flora from Roman mythology, the goddess of flowers and the season of spring.
We're seriously considering this name for a daughter. It's very uncommon here in the US, but that's what I like. It's old fashioned and sweet, and suitable for all ages. Although, my name is Lily, so that might be a little too 'flower-y'.
My daughter's name is Flora. I think it's a beautiful name, and my daughter is born in the spring so it fits her perfect. It's not very common here which I also think is a good thing =)
As long as you don't have another daughter named Fauna, and as long as you don't call the girl Flo, this name is alright. It rhymes with the very common Laura and Norah, and it also rhymes with the beautiful names Cora and Dora, and it has a soft, pleasant sound to it. It's quite old-fashioned and a bit too flower-y in a very literal way, but it's not bad.
Flora is the heroine in Stella Gibbons' book Cold Comfort Farm, which was made into a film with Kate Beckinsale as Flora.

In Scotland the name became popular as an Anglicised form of the Gaelic name Fionnghuala and its variants. Flora MacDonald's given name was actually Fionnghal.
Flora Tristan was one of the founders of modern feminism and Paul Gauguin's grandmother. Her complete name was Flore-Celestine-Therèse-Henriette Tristan-Moscoso.

In Sweden Flora is the word used for a lexicon about plants, and in general for vegetation. Flora is also the brand name of a type of margarine.

I love this name so much because it means flower and makes me think of spring. Very pretty sounding as well.
