Edith or Florence?

Baby girl due in 11 weeks, we already have 3 boys and she is our final child.

We are torn between:
Florence Edith
Edith Florence

Florence is a family name. Just to add we are not in the UK we are in Ireland where neither name is very popular at the moment.

Thanks

Edith is DD's name, so obviously I think it's lovely. But then I don't want the name to go the way of Lily or Ruby so.... you should definitely go for Florence. Xmas Grin

Edith is gorgeous, that's on my list!

Thanks for the opinions, I am leaning towards Edith myself. We don't generally use family names, so I don't want to make her a mini version of someone else iykwim?
