I was thinking about Flower as an alternative to Fleur or Flora the other day; it sounds unappealingly like flour, but then, Fleur sounds like floor to me, and Flora vaguely reminds me of bacterial flora, so I could learn to ignore that, I think. Flower is pretty in an unadorned way, yet it has some pizzazz, about like Jewel. It's a nature name obviously but has the common/trendy surname *er ending like Clover (which is charting!), Winter, River, Ember, and it's an optimistic type word name like Hope, Sunny, Dawn, and Prosper. I like that it's not as polished as Florence maybe...I feel that I should like Florence but never have really.

Flora seems like a cool name for an elderly Italian matriach while also somewhat current/young, but I prefer Cora and Zora of similar sounding names. The vibe reminds me of Luna, Aurora, and Fauna a bit, and I might slightly prefer those to Flora, too.
