Wondered what people thought of these names....we like the idea of a name that can be shortened whilst they are young, but they can then choose if they want to use the full version when they are older.
Only trouble is that there are also a couple of names we really like which cannot be shortened, please help! We have chosen middle names after relatives.

Girls

Jessica (Jessy/Jess)
Lola

(Florence will be the middle name)

Boys

Frederick (Freddie/Fred..named after a great grandparent)
Oscar

(Toby will be the middle name)

Like both boys names and think that either could go with Toby depending upon your surname.

Both girls names are ok for me but imo neither goes with Florence.

Jessica Florence goes better then Lola Florence.

Frederick Toby is fine. Not so keen on Oscar.

well - it doesn't really matter what people think - but of those names I would choose Jessica and Oscar (but then I would not have chosen any of them anyway - or if I had DH would probably have vetoed it !).

Actually - I really like Oscar.

I suppose Lola Florence might go but depends on your surname.

Honestly ?

I don't think that the 1st names you have chosen go with the middle names .

I love Lola(have one myself)
And Freddie is great.
