[947EliseChalotte]

In covid times is it ok to call a new baby girl Florence ..after Florence nightingale Hope or Vera Lynn. Which do you prefer?

Florence and Hope are beautiful names.

@xmummy2princesx

Lots of people on the high horse with a gin in their hand tonight. You cant cure stupid......

100% Bull shit thread.

What about Barnardette?

Mary Seacole.
Now there's a role model.

Florence is lovely
Hope is nice but can be counterproductive.
Vera is coming back into fashion.

My name is Hope.I like it.

@ECBC

What about Barnardette?

Ooh, that IS pretty! How about Quarantina as a middle name?

My DD is Florence... Well actually she isn't but I call her it all the time because it always makes me think of flouncing and stroppiness and she does that... Still I actually like the name. And Hope. Vera Lynn - not so much

How about vaccinita? Or tumeter?

@PyongyangKipperbang it’s awful🙄

I like them all but just Vera with no Lyn...what about Florence Vera Hope? Or Vera Hope Florence etc....

I rather like Hope.

I think im the only person in the world who likes Vera but then i have had a few drinks!

I love all old school names like Ada, Mabel, Valerie, Pamela etc.

@Davros

Vera Lynn is rhyming slang for gin

Really? You must be from somewhere outside London (or much, much younger than me).

Got any Veras?

But then i nearly named dd Venus until i realised what it rhymed with!!

I'm sorry but all these names seem really preformative.
Instead of thinking about yourself and your experience of this time and how your child's name reflects on you, perhaps consider them?
Hopefully this period will not even be an issue in their life so give them a name that you think will suit them and not embarrass them at any point in life.

Love Florence it’s my nickname. I know a dear old lady called Vera but I think maybe in a few more years it’ll be more acceptable. But what about Verity Hope.?

Not sure on rainbow but that's made me think of the name Indie (indigo) it's the name of Joe Wicks daughter too. Xx Someone also suggested Grace I like that too. Xx

@Serin

Mary Seacole. Now there's a role model.

Agree

Florence is very nice, reminds me of ye magick roundabout from some time back;!

Was going to call my last DD Araminta not many of them around:!?.

Florence

Florence!

Love the name Hope- it was the name of one of the characters in the eighties TV drama Thirysomething. Hope and Michael were my favourite couple.

I vote Florence out of the three, think it's maybe a little dated but lots of nicknames you could give (Flo, Flora, Florrie, Lori etc)
