Florence, Margot or Eva?

Our second baby girl was born a few days and we’re really struggling to settle on a name. It did take us a week to name our first daughter but we seemed more definite in our choices.

Our surname starts with M and our eldest’s initials are MM - I’m not sure if 2 children with MM initials is a bit much?

We love the following but can’t decide, any thoughts?

Eva
Margot
Florence
Maisie
Grace
Rose

The first 3 are faves but I keep changing my mind!

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

@Festivemoose , Margot and Maggot look similar

Festivemoose · 16/07/2023 20:21

someone always replies Maggot when people suggest Margot. Do these people actually think it’s pronounced with a hard T?!

I love Margot but agree you don't want children with the same initials.
So Florence for me, it's gorgeous.

Eva.

Margot is hideous and the others will be one of many in their school year!

Florence gets my vote

luckylavender · 16/07/2023 16:41

I love Florence. Like Eva & Margot too but 2 x MMs would be too much.

TeamSleep · 16/07/2023 16:40

I like Florence and Grace from your list

DinnaeFashYersel · 16/07/2023 16:38

Margot
Rose
Grace

Are my top 3

Margot hands down

I agree. It doesn't even make sense

Show quote history

It looks like it, written down. It's ugly for that reason. Not idiotic in any way.

Margot>Maggot. What utter idiocy.

Topazbutterfly · 16/07/2023 14:58

I'd probably avoid Margot and Maisie, as your eldest already has a MM initial.

I think Eva, Florence, Grace and Rose are all lovely names.

RosaSkye · 16/07/2023 14:49

I love Margot, agree regarding the post issue though is your eldest is a DD.

Florence also lovely

Rosa maybe? Rose is lovely though

nice choices all round. Margot or Florence get my vote

marshmallowfinder · 16/07/2023 14:46

I'm afraid I really dislike them all. Very boring and bland. Definitely not the awful Margot (maggot.) Florence is the least bad.

QueenAstrid · 16/07/2023 14:39

Eva

cassiatwenty · 16/07/2023 14:30

Margot

Jongleterre · 16/07/2023 14:30

Eva.

Theoldwoman · 16/07/2023 14:05

Eva or Grace.

PickledScrump · 16/07/2023 13:32

Florence is beautiful

ellenpartridge · 16/07/2023 13:31

Florence

RoseRows · 16/07/2023 13:29

I like Florence best. I also like Grace and Rose.
