What do you think of Florence? The only response from family has been a raised eyebrows!

Any other suggestions most welcomed!

How about Philippa? I think Philippa Fox is fab and Pippa Fox is even fabber!

If we're onto boys then...Bartholomew or Balthazaar.

We've established that she would have to be a plumber though LetLoveRule.

Could you put Florence in the middle? I agree it's a beautiful name. My first proper doll was called Florence. Smile

So I do understand.

thumbplumpuddingwitch · 07/12/2010 10:58

Wilfred!
Combines William and Freddie very neatly, I feel, and gives the option of both Will and Freddie as nns.

Or Oscar.

WildPansy · 07/12/2010 10:56

Grin at Flo being a plumber. Poor Ms Fox! In my head the tongue twister is along the lines of "Florence Fox knits foreign socks".

I love Elizabeth Fox, that is an awesome name.

MsFox · 07/12/2010 10:55

Most definately. Especially as we have family in the trade who would have immediately picked up on it!!

Am glad I posted now, I think I was blinded by how much I like the name Florence and chose to ignore the niggles I had about it!

So

Girls:
Matilda
Elizabeth
Olivia

Boys:
William
Freddie

Need one more to balance it out!

Forewarned is best, though. Seriously Xmas Grin

I shan't bother linking to Easy-flo soldering paste and Fox Flow mountain biking gear then.

I love your other ideas. Freddy is brilliant.

Fernox. Sorry.

It's a kind of plumbing combo you have going on, flow-flux and fernox.

I mean it's not bad, really, she might go into the trade, it'd be perfect!
Sorry Smile
