FLORIAN's FRIGHTFUL FORENAME

Florian hated his name.
What were his parents thinking of in giving such an albatross of a name to a poor innocent child.
“Florian”
he said the name quietly & then out loud yelling at the top of his voice.
“Bloody FLORIAN”.

What do think about your name?

Re: FLORIAN's FRIGHTFUL FORENAME

As a child I always hated my name Barry because I thought it sounded sissy. If anyone asked my name I would mumble so that they thought I had said Brian, which I thought was much better. In my teens though everyone called me Baz, but when I was courting my first wife she never thought to ask my real name and told all of her family that my name was Basil...

Re: FLORIAN's FRIGHTFUL FORENAME

Glad TO hear you like your name ANNIE.

I started this piece off, fully intending to write a short story, but lost interest in the plot. I prefer to write biographical stuff.
Oh and poetry.

I knew a Florian once . He was a one eyed ginger lapsed Jehovah's witness exiled from Tristan da Cunha. He had a transvestite twin brother/sister known as Nancy.
We worked together in "Grace Brothers" the old fashioned Department store in Chorlton cum Hardy.
Nancy, that is, not Florian.

I have heard MUCH worse than Florian, which I quite like, although I don't think it would be my first choice!

My name is quite acceptable providing no one shortens it, as I dislike the shortened version.

Re: FLORIAN's FRIGHTFUL FORENAME

Thankyou for that Barry. My best friend is a BARRY. WE met when we were just 11 & on our first day at Grammar school.
That was way back in 1959. I make that 53 years and we still meet up every month for lunch.
Theres nothing like old friends.

Re: FLORIAN's FRIGHTFUL FORENAME

Willow is a great name. Perhaps not if you had been given the latin name

Tilia tormentosa 'Petiolaris' (Weeping Silver Lime); or Salix babylonica, (weeping Willow)

How about a FERN. Boston Fern.viz Nephrolepis exaltata 'Bostoniensis'
