I'm only 7 weeks at the moment so still very early. We want the middle name Florence after my mum who passed away last year. What are your thoughts on:

Eva Florence
Etta Florence
Thea Florence
Tabitha Florence
Tia Florence

Tabitha or Etta for me. Love them both.

Really don't like Tia Maria and Eva is a bit blah nowadays.

I heard a little girl called Eliza recently I love that (even though it's not on your list 😳))

Oh please not Tia! Florence is beautiful and Tia is not and I just don't think they go. Others all good, Eva my favourite I think though.

Tabitha immediately makes me think of a tabby cat. Even more so if it gets shortened! Sorry about that. Florence is lovely. Too lovely to be a second name.

I actually thought Eliza too. It goes well. I have a friend with Orla Florence which is pretty.
Of your names I like Eva the best.

I am 27 weeks pregnant with what we think will be an Orla Florence :)

But I absolutely love Etta Florence. Your list is lovely but Etta Florence is totally totally gorgeous :)

not keen on Tia or Tabitha TBH.

Tia - just too similar to all the Mia/Lia/Maya type names - and Tabitha because the only one I know gets called Tabby all the time and not keen on that.

Agree- Etta Florence is gorgeous, adorable on a baby girl and individual but graceful on a grown woman.

Tabitha Florence lovely.
I also like Etta.
I so wanted Florence for my DD but couldn't.

I think Florence is nicer than all the first name options.
