Seeing as the child is now nearly 8 it’s irrelevant.

Look at the date. ZOMBIE THREAD.

Florence Colette, Florence Juliet, Florence Maria, Florence Delilah, Florence Nina, Florence Cara

My first thought was Florence Elizabeth but that’s not very modern.

What about:

Florence Ava
Florence Wren
Florence Caitlin
Florence Faith
Florence Fern
Florence Gaia
Florence Milly
Florence Asha
Florence Hebe
Florence Juno
Florence Luna
Florence Lyra
Florence Lila
Florence Zoe
Florence Zara
Florence Pia

Louise

It's a name that's totally due a comeback and it goes beautifully with Florence...

i love the nn flossie, that is my favourite one. mary and cecilia are both sweet names, dont think either will get past dh's censor though. he is currently liking sarah, which is a pretty name, but i am not 100%. any suggestion you like would be great x

I am 38 and I am a Florence. I am the oldest living Florence I know and until about 10 years ago it was a 'granny's name' but I love it. My middle names are Mary and Cecilia: one ends in y and both very trad. What nicknames are you expecting? I am usually Flo, which is nice now most people have forgotten the spinster aunt connotations.

What sort of names do you consider "modern"? Most names have been around for a long time.
