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!

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

Maisie too twee and cutesy.
Eva just blends in with all the Evies/Evelyn’s/Avas.
Rose and Grace are soo overused as filler middle names (Evie Rose for example).
Don’t like Margot or Florence.
I’d like Eva the most but it’s popular.

Eva - no. Evie, Ava, Ivy type names too popular
Margot - Maggot. Margaret is so much nicer
Florence - ok, prefer Flora
Maisie - ok but a bit twee
Grace - ok, dull as a middle name
Rose - ok, prefer Rosie, dull as a middle name

Florence and Grace are my favourites for your girl's first name.

Florence and Margot are MH favourites from your list

It would be better if it wasn’t an M name, as you won’t know which child the letter is for. Out of those I like like Florence the most.
