Erin or Florence

[Sequin1]

What do you think?

I have a DS George and now expecting a girl,

I like classic names but my only worry with Florence is that it might be a bit too faddy?

[anonymousbird]

Personally, I'd go Erin. I also have a George and as pretty a name as Florence is, it is possibly a bit twee next to George as a name....

Erin's my chosen girls name I love it! Florence makes me think of my aunt Florrie so less of a like for me

[themightyskim]

I also weighed up Ruby Erin but decided Ruby was far far to popular round my neck of the woods

Erin is lovely. We know a few little Florences.

Florence is quite trendy indeed, even the Camerons picked it!

Erin is nice

[CheeseandGherkins]

My nan was called Florence and DD1 has it as her middle name, she is nearly 10 though so this was a while ago :) I love it.

[Meteorite]

Florence is lovely :) Perhaps getting fashionable but also classic and pretty.

Not so keen on Erin. It's a bit nothing-y with its lack of consonants, and getting a bit trendy along with Isla and Orla.

[WitchesBroomForMyChin]

Erin is lovely not really keen on Florence. How about Erin ruby?

[CurwySwide]

My nan's first name was Florence and her surname was George so I think it is lovely and they go together very nicely indeed :)

Erin is nice but a bit... strait-laced... if you know what I mean

[Nikki82]

Love Florence!

[Takver]

Both are lovely.

I have never met a Florence or an Erin who wasn't nice :)

[pickledsiblings]

both beautiful names but v. different. why not wait and see, i bet you'll know which one she is when you meet her. i love flo as a nn.

[Scathac]

Love them both! Erin quite popular in Scotland. Florence not v. common these days, although nearly everybody has an auntie flo (don't they?)

[MelinaM]

Florence is lovely, but it is fast becoming very popular.

Erin is lovely too, unfussy and with the added bonus that it can't be shortened

[blushingm]

Erin is lovely - but then I might me slightly biased

for some reason dd is know as Errie (sometimes Errie Berry even though our surname is not berry - not sure how that happened

[m1nn1em0u5e]

Love Florence! This was my chosen name for dc3, but we are having a boy!

[Jojay]

Erin. Florence is a bit 'now', imho

[MrsMilton]

I love Erin. Classy and timeless.

[Dru6]

I love Florence and it was on our shortlist but we've been put off by its popularity at the moment. Erin is lovely.

[Ihavewelliesbutitssunny]

I was going to say that Erin is a name of its time while Florence is more classic but perhaps I'm wrong. Both nice names, I think Florence goes better with George but I think you have to like the nns for it Flo, Florrie, Floss, Flossy?

[usingapseudonym]

Definitely Erin :)
