The fairy godmothers are usually nameless, in many retellings of Sleeping Beauty.

While Flora was named after Walt Disney's mother, it also refers to the character's powers. Flora, was the fairy of nature. Fauna, was the fairy of animals. Merryweather, was the fairy of weather.... hence, why she was a little spitfire.
