Can't decide between these two names. DD1 is Lucy.

Florence, though I think Eliza goes better with Lucy.

starkid · 01/02/2019 13:43

Eliza :)

ReginaPhalange89 · 31/01/2019 18:31

Both lovely but I think Lucy & Eliza go nicer so I'd probably pick that !

Eliza or Elixir. Not Florence. That's a name for a ghost that once scrubbed floors in a castle.

Xenia, Zoe, ... so many better names than Florence.

Eliza. But then I don't like place names (I have one myself and have always felt it's not a real name)

PinkAvocado · 30/01/2019 20:28

I too like both but Florence is more popular and I’m not keen on ‘Flo’ at all so Eliza edges it for me.

Eliza

sola82 · 30/01/2019 20:05

How about Elisa instead of Eliza?

Scandaloso · 30/01/2019 20:02

Eliza.

Florence is a bit drippy.

IAmWonderWoman · 30/01/2019 20:00

Eliza. Florence is hugely popular and everywhere. I’m a bit bored of it tbh.

Elfinablender · 30/01/2019 10:00

Thank you so much for all your thoughts. Think I might be leaning towards Florence but so hard!

My Florence is almost 7 and her nickname is Roo :-) Last year she had a friend called Eliza, both beautiful names. I lean towards Florence (obviously) but you can't go wrong with either.

barkinatthemoon · 29/01/2019 21:15

Eliza is my dd so obviously I'm biased 😁, but both are beautiful names imo. Re nicknames, our Eliza usually goes by Lizey (lie-zee) or Lize (lie-zz) One of her best friends at school is a Florence, and mainly gets called Flo.

I have an Eliza. She's 5 and it's never been shortened.

I love Florence too! Nearly had that for her middle name.

LadyHofH · 29/01/2019 21:07

Florence. I know an Eliza, and she is horrible.

AppleKatie · 29/01/2019 21:06

Eliza is beautiful

GlitterPixie · 29/01/2019 21:05

Florence

LadyKalila · 29/01/2019 21:00

Love Flo - but then I have one. 😀😀

17caterpillars1mouse · 29/01/2019 20:50

Both are lovely but i slightly prefer Florence

VoyageInTheDark · 29/01/2019 20:45

Florence is lovely

spritesobright · 29/01/2019 20:40

Eliza I love.

Choosinganame · 29/01/2019 20:32

MotherofKitties · 29/01/2019 20:16
