Edith or Florence?

[3boysgirlontheway]

Baby girl due in 11 weeks, we already have 3 boys and she is our final child.

We are torn between:
Florence Edith
Edith Florence

Florence is a family name. Just to add we are not in the UK we are in Ireland where neither name is very popular at the moment.

Thanks

Well I checked with our statistics office here in Ireland and there were 14 Florences born here last year and 10 Ediths, that didn't do much to help me!

Still leaning towards Edith.

Florence Edith. Biased as it was my great nans name.

Edith. Urggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!! Truly awful and tantamount to child abuse.

Totally agree with Everlong

Well after much discussion over Christmas, we have decided on Florence, not sure what to use as a middle name yet, but, the more I say the name out loud (with our surname) Florence works better. We also have the issue here in Ireland that not everyone says the "th" sound properly, and people saying E-dit rather than Edith would push me over the edge.

Thanks for all the opinions!

Both lovely but Edith is ultra lovely

Florence!

We had Florence on our girls name short list for a while, the shortened Edie is nice but not so keen on Edith. Florence is lovely though, definitely my preferred choice :)

Having said that, my nan's name was Florence Irene and she chose to call herself Irene over Florence!

Edith definitely - have just put it on the shortlist for DC5.

I prefer Florence to Edith but as far as nn go I prefer Edie to Flo. Sorry that's not really much help.
Overall though I think they are both lovely names.
