I don't love the name but it's ok.

But I do prefer Flora.

PetersonPeterson · 13/05/2016 13:25

Either Florence or valentina. Florentina: pizza.

MrsLeighHalfpenny · 12/05/2016 21:52

As long as her siblings don't have kids, so she never becomes Aunt Flo Blush

ems942 · 12/05/2016 21:48

Valentina is also beautiful

MrsJoeyMaynard · 12/05/2016 11:15

If you really don't like Tina as a nickname, I'd avoid Florentina. In case your DD decides that she prefers Tina to Flo / Florrie.

lilydaisyrose · 12/05/2016 11:03

I know a Florencia - that's an alternative option?

seven201 · 12/05/2016 11:01

Pizza!

MiddleClassProblem · 12/05/2016 11:00

I new a valentina who went by Tin

RiverTam · 12/05/2016 10:56

I didn't think of the pizza or football club, but it does look like the brand name for a kind of juice or something. Don't like it.

MitzyLeFrouf · 12/05/2016 10:55

Florentine pizza or chocolate florentines.

Pipilangstrumpf · 12/05/2016 10:49

I really like Florentina! I think Flo or Florrie were more likely nicknames than Tina.

I thought the Pizza was Fiorentina..? I also love the name Margherita despite that pizza being much more popular. People won't think of the pizza once they meet a little Margherita or Florentina imo.

Only1scoop · 12/05/2016 09:28

Makes me think of those yummy biscuit things covered in chocolate.

Much prefer Florence

Sophronia · 12/05/2016 09:27

How about Florinda instead?

julfin · 12/05/2016 08:16

I think it's beautiful. But you couldn't stop her using the nn Tina if she wanted to.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 11/05/2016 23:53

You mightn't like the nn Tina, but your DD might do, so on that basis. I'd avoid

flamingnoravera · 11/05/2016 22:28

Florin is ok.

Marzipants · 11/05/2016 21:56

I want pizza now?

What about Florence?

MiddleClassProblem · 11/05/2016 21:56

Pizza and now I'm hungry...
And now I'm thinking of Florentines...

Abecedario · 11/05/2016 21:55

Pizza here too.

I taught a Flori once, as an alternative to Flora /Florence.

Winterbiscuit · 11/05/2016 19:37

I like Florentina. I didn't think of pizzas! Just looked it up and it's a Spanish saint's name.

anotherBadAvatar · 11/05/2016 19:00

pizza

CharminglyGawky · 11/05/2016 18:51

Ooh pizza with egg on!

Flora and Florence are lovely names though.

Vixxfacee · 11/05/2016 18:45

Wolfiefan · 11/05/2016 18:44
