Something like Martha which I love but can't use.

Any ideas?

Florence?

Rose.

Un-complicated, pretty and classic.

Love Rose. Pretty but solid.

Love Poppy too - but a bit too pretty - fragile sounding?

Was also going to suggest Freya; it sounds more down to earth than Flora, which is nice but sounds much more 'delicate'.

In fact if I ever have a DD3 I may name her Flora Maggie...

I like Flora but always think of poor girl at school who got badly teased - called 'Marge' and told she 'spreads easily'. So beware of people being cruel..
