Girl's name Florence, Vera Lynn or Hope ? please help!

[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?

Borisette.

Florence and Hope are both lovely. Vera Lynn is a nice-sounding name, but would feel a bit gimmicky imo.

they are all awful imo

Donna Mask?

Nothing about Grace is different, every other girl is called Grace right now.

Hahahha haha.

Very good, OP, very good.

@Wither

Agreed!

Grace... or Isla.. or Ava... or Evie... or Amelia... Isabella...Olivia...

But OP gets a hard time for suggesting these names?

Alexandra

I prefer Florence out of the three. Vera on its own is ok, but I'm not keen on Vera Lynn either.

I like Florence and Florence Nightingale was a very interesting person worth naming your dd after even in normal times.

*You realise you're birthing a child and not a monument to lockdown?

Although Rona/Rhona would be a nice tribute.*

Someone said Vera Lynn was rhyming slang for gin...I thought it was rhyming slang for skins as in rizla papers for rolling joints. They sang the line in the song Ebenezer Good didn't they?
"Has anyone got any veras? Lovely".....

I like Florrie rather than Florence. Florence reminds me of the magic roundabout

Florence and Vera are both on our list but they are also both family names.

You want to name your child after the prime minister who is responsible for one of the highest death tolls in the world? Dear lord, I hope this is a troll.

Florence and hope are great names even in lock down. Faith is good too

Vera is growing on me but Vera Lynn's = skins (anyone remember Ebenezer Goode by the Shaman?)

shinyredbus A relative is called Hope. I've never met another one!

And also 'anyone got any Salmon' but I never could quite work out the drug reference for that one

Bliesheep8, Vera Lynn’s = skins

Not sure I’d want a Covid themed name but Florence is nice in its own right.

If you choose Florence please don't shorten it to florrie. It reminds me of phlegm!

I like Vera Lynn

Vera Lynn

Vera just makes me think of Vera duckworth, adding the lynne part would be ridiculous imo. Hope is a bit naff too. Florence is nicer, I know a little girl who was in my dcs toddler group called florence/flo, and she's a lovely girl. I don't automatically associate it with the famous nurse but many might I suppose.

Hope is gorgeous

I like Vera yes I can imagine a baby and teenage Vera just fine.

I think Florence is ok but to me, that's a run of the mill name
