Urgently need middle name ideas!

[biggest]

Need to register DD's birth before the end of this week and we have completely run out of inspiration to find a middle name for her. Her name is Florence, but is called Florrie for now.
Please help! Nothing too twee, and not Rose for the obvious reasons!

[SirBoobAlot]

Abigail sprung to mind immediately for some reason!

[wigglesrock]

If you can't think of one, don't give her one Congratulations Florrie is lovely

Trouble is we have a very very distinctive surname (wish I could share it!) and nothing sounds right.....
Thanks for all your suggestions though

[ozmetric]

Any more clues, biggest? Is your surname long or short, mainly consonsants or vowels? Have you worked out what number of syllables sounds best as a middle name, and with the emphasis on what syllable?

Florence Anastasia
Florence Ophelia
Florence Esperanza
Florence Antoinette
Florence Katherina
Florence Alexandra
Florence Carolina
Florence Antonia
Florence Angharad
Florence Miriam

How about three names, two long and one short?

e.g. Florence Alexandra Jane...

Why do you have to have a middle name?

[SuzieHomemaker]

All our DCs' middle names are places in France plus my maiden name (so two middle names).

My brother gave one of his DDs the maiden name of paternal grandmother.

This changes the balance so one personal name and two family names but not hyphenated eg:

Florence Jones Snufflebottom

(apologies to all those Snufflebottoms out there)

[BreastmilkDoesAFabLatte]

How about Austell or Ives? Or any other Cornish saints whose names are places...?

[LaDiDaDi]

Mary
Susannah
Louisa
Penelope
Lilian

[LilyBolero]

Florence Amelia
Florence Elisabeth
Florence Viola
Florence Genevieve
Florence Ophelia
Florence Oriana (the last 3 are my favourites)

[oltob]

What do you think of Florence Elsa? Have until Monday 9.30 to decide....

[Fimbo]

I think Florence Ailsa flows better than Florence Elsa.

Florence Louisa is nice too

[upahill]

Biggest Why do you have to have a middle name though? It's not the law!!!

Florence Elisa
Florence Eloise
Florence Elise
Florence Elena
Florence Eleni
