Florian is such a handsome, beautiful, and masculine name. I love how it means flower, and the fact it has some elegance to it. Soft yet strong, noble, and respectable. I like it. Wouldn't be surprised if it caught on in the US.

Effeminate with an equally effeminate nickname of Flo. Pretentious, bougie. Just no.

My son's name is Florian and his nickname is Rian. I think Florian is a valiant and refined name for a boy. When I was considering this name someone told me that "it's too feminine", but what's wrong with femininity? I just think it's kind of a pretty-boy name and so far he's never received anything but compliments for it.

Personally, I named my son Florian since it's unique and also one of the few names that sounds the same in the various languages of our family. With very common names ourselves, we also wanted to avoid our son running into the situation of having the same name as multiple classmates or coworkers and also not too strange or unpronounceable.
Interestingly, "Florian" still carries a lot of different stigmas - but not the same ones as for English speakers (floral, feminine, girly?). For example, for my Czech family, it's a common family (last) name and sounds odd to them as a first name. The Belgian part of the family likes "Florian" but finds it outdated... wasn't it popular in 1920's-40's :) they say? Then the French Canadian branch ironically find the name a bit too snobby and European sounding.
Apparently the name "Florian" will always have a hard time.
Mind you it's overly popular in Austria, Poland, perhaps Denmark and elsewhere etc!
Anyway, I like it, plus it has the great nickname of "Flo".

I named my son Florian as it is my maiden name. He was born in 2010. Sometimes we call him either Flo or Ian. My original maiden name was Moses. But my great grand father Julian and his brother Walter changed it due to starting a business in New York. At the turn of the last century it was hard being Jewish. With a very Jewish name, as well as looking very Jewish, at the time they felt it would be better for their business if they weren't Moses, making it sound Armenian. Their mother's name was Flora so they pretty much created the name influenced by their mothers name at the time. And my guess would be using the ending of Julian as well. This was right at the year/around 1900.

I would use the nickname Ian for this. It's a good name to same extent. I can't see myself using it on a child... it's one of those names that are nice, but somewhat unusable in the real world.

This is my name. I like it - I like the floral meaning and the sound of it. It's pretty common where I live, but that doesn't bother me. I'm glad to have this name.

Although Floriaan is the authentic, native Dutch form (originally, Latin names ending in -ianus always became -iaan in Dutch), it is not used as often in The Netherlands as Florian. Floriaan is rare nowadays, whereas Florian is fairly popular and has been steadily gaining in popularity since the early '80s. In fact, in 2011 the name Florian was at its most popular ever: that year, 119 newborn boys were given this name.
As such, 'Dutch' should also be listed in the 'Usage' section for this name. :)

A handsome name but it is a bit foppish and dated. I think it might come off as pretentious but it does sound nice.

I think it works quite well as a female name - floral connotations.

A very lovely name. It expresses intelligence. Its short form in Germany is "Flo", which sounds like a cheedy boy - I like that.
