Florence... opinions and middle name needed!

Nickname Flo or Florrie. We're pretty sure on Florence but we have no idea on a middle name!!

Help please! Smile

Florence Violet vetoed by DH because he reads Violet as Violent.

Kale I’m in the South West and like I said upthread at least one in every baby group-very pretty name though so that’s why.

My daughter is a Florence (6mo) and I go to loads of baby groups and things but haven't met another one yet! Where are you from if it's a popular name? I know it must be because it's in the top 10.

I'm in the North West.

I prefer Flora over Florence. That's just me.

NotAnotherEmma · 12/02/2018 20:53

I love Florence! My youngest sister is called Florence with nickname Floss/Flossie.
Her middle name is Madeleine which I think is beautiful, our surname is one syllable though.
You could also consider:
Florence Doris
Florence Olivia

sweatylemon · 12/02/2018 13:38

Florence very popular around here.
Think I would choose something else.

Teenagedream · 12/02/2018 09:10

Ohh some really good suggestions here, thank you everyone!! It's not like me to go for one of the "popular" names as dc1 is barely top 100. But I just can't help myself, I love it.

Particularly loving Florence Ivy and Florence Viola, will update once I've spoken to DH! Grin

Florence is beautiful name. Florence Ivy, Florence Rachel, Florence joy, Florence kim, Florence Hannah, Florence Imogen, Florence Orla. Florence Ivy is my favorite.

Myunicornfliessideways · 11/02/2018 20:45

Love it, was in my final three for girls' names. Always loved Flora too. Frankly anything as a middle is going to sound pretty.

Florence Rose
Florence Elisabeth
Florence Isabeau
Florence Victoria
Florence Louise/Louisa
Florence Marisa

ChocolateCrunch · 11/02/2018 20:39

Popular name. How about:
Florence Eliza
Florence Isabel
Florence Sophia
Florence Matilda

Sparklesdontshine · 11/02/2018 20:21

I absolutely love the name Florence but it does put me off that there's so many Angry

clary · 11/02/2018 20:20

I love Florence. I taught one in yr 7 this year but that's the first I've come across.

It was one of DS2's girl names (he is 14 for context). The other one, maybe the middle name, was Agnes (so, Florence Agnes which spells FAB with our surname! or Agnes Florence).

Everyone always hates Agnes tho. Someone once told me it's a good thing he was a boy! Shock

millymae · 11/02/2018 20:13

Florence Martha sounds perfect to me - nickname Florrie or Floss.

user1459464195 · 11/02/2018 20:02

Seconding Florence Charlotte or Florence Amy. Also:
Florence Lucy
Florence Imogen
Florence Annabel

Lucymek · 11/02/2018 19:17

And the machine ?

PaperdollCartoon · 11/02/2018 19:16

I like Florence but it’s so popular now, there’ll be 2 or 3 in every class. It’ll be like Laura and Lauren when I was at school.
