Which do you prefer? Frida or Flora?

I have a Carmen Lois (dead easy to name as named after Spanish grandmother and my mother)

This one is heep um hard and I fixate on one, only to wobble soon after.

Husband really likes Frida (and so do I, love the artist) whereas I think Flora offers nickname potential -- although looking at Carmen that doesn't either and no probs there.

Flora is beginning to sound a little frilly and Sloaney to me now. Not that I really think it is, though. Argghhhhhhh

Like I said, I've been through Nancy/Camille (too similar) and a host of rather weird ones (I have a thing for Old Hollywood) and I've lost my compass completely!

We both have Spanish grandparents (my side has unusable names though) and Scottish/Welsh heritage. Surname sounds like Evans but has a lovely meaning. Certain names won't work and others I like I can't use as friends have.

Elizabeth would be a family middle name.

How is frida pronounced? is it like Freida?

Frida is a great name, and goes well with Carmen.

Frida is lovely. And the nickname could be just Fri (free) which is rather fabulous no?

Plus, my daughter when asked says categorically it's a Frida. She's not yet three but knows her onions

you see, women of taste! Everyone else I've (or husband) has asked has said Frida. Nice and strong.

And thanks for the good luck.

Frida! It's lovely.

Frida is lovely and underused.

Good luck with it all.
