Girl's name Florence, Vera Lynn or Hope ? please help!

[947EliseChalotte]

In covid times is it ok to call a new baby girl Florence ..after Florence nightingale Hope or Vera Lynn. Which do you prefer?

[lootsharks]

Florence would be my choice, Vera is ugly imo and the only Hope I know is a sycophantic as they come.

[Shoxfordian]

Don't like any of those names but Hope probably my favourite

[blubberyboo]

Florence probably nicest.
Hope is a bit cliched and done to death.
Vera on its own would be nice but I would drop the Lynn as it makes it obviously named after THE Vera Lynn and not therefore unique for your child

[ClementineTangerine]

They're all very different to each other, I would choose Florence which is lovely.

Dont like Hope and Vera Lynn is awful sorry!

[Davros]

Vera Lynn is rhyming slang for gin

[Toddlerteaplease]

Vera is a really ugly name. Florence is nice.

[Ducky1900]

Florence

[RichPetunia]

No to Vera Lynn. The other two are ok.

[Stripeytopgirl]

Vera Lynn - such an obvious copy it would be weird
Hope - Can’t decide if it sounds really delicate & middle class or really cheap and tacky. Sorry 😬
Florence - I like. It’s v sophisticated IMO.

[Florence1960]

Um - let me think... 🤔

[Redglitter]

Vera Lynn is awful. Don't do that to your child.

Hope is lovely. Not keen on Florence

One of my daughters name is Hope - I don’t agree it’s been done to death - I don’t know any other. I like it the best followed by Florence.

[MrsCrosbyNRTB]

Or Mary after Mary Seacole? The first covid rehab hospital was named after her.

[Euclid]

Definitely not Vera Lynn, just Vera or just Lynn. I don't like names like Hope, Faith, Patience etc and I think that Florence is a bit outdated.

[borntohula]

Florence

[BeenHereForAges]

I like Florence best.
Can I throw Dawn in there too? Lovely meaning and very apt.
Good luck with your baby girl!

[Rhine]

The name Vera always puts me in mind if Vera Duckworth from Coronation Street.

[Coffeecak3]

I love Florence. Not keen on Hope or Vera Lynn.

[Alsohuman]

Apparently Vera is highly fashionable at the moment. It’s part of the revival of old fashioned names.

[Samcro]

Florence is lovely, i have ayoung freind who called her dd that.
Vera is a bit vera duckworth.

[RhodaDendron]

Love Florence! I know a four year old Hope and it just doesn’t work imho... not a nice enough word in itself to be a name, and amazing how much four year olds use the word hope! I hope Hope is in today... Hope what do you hope you will get for tea etc...

[Millicent10]

Hope is very sweet although not to my taste, I really don’t like Florence (and really hate Flo), Vera is just a no. But why the need to look for a Covid related name or a name related to current events? I would concentrate on names that you like or relate to you/your family.

[MrsAJ27]

I prefer Florence...Vera Lynn sounds like hooker, hope is boring!

[Smellbellina]

Vera (no Lynn!)

Thank you for you thoughts ❤️ I do like Florence as apparently she trained nurses so we have a fabulous NHS
. I thought it would be nice as our NHS has helped so many in covid times. Xx
