I would be thinking Fiorentina like the football club.

If Tina is a deal breaker, don't use it. It is not your name and she could choose to be called Tina.
Also reminded of Fiorentina!

I think Florentina is a type of pizza? I would like just Florina better, or Florence?

MyNewBearTotoro · 11/05/2016 18:42

I would be thinking of the pizza.

Although it's not to my taste once you get past that it's okay. If I had to choose a name to go with the nicknames Flo/Florrie I would probably prefer Florence but on someone else's baby I'd think the name was fine (after initially thinking 'like the pizza?')

I think it would be hard to guarantee she wouldn't end up a Tina though so if you really dislike that nickname I wouldn't use it.

I also thought of the pizza

gininteacupsandleavesonthelawn · 11/05/2016 18:43

Vixxfacee · 11/05/2016 18:45

Pizza

CharminglyGawky · 11/05/2016 18:51

Ooh pizza with egg on!

Flora and Florence are lovely names though.

anotherBadAvatar · 11/05/2016 19:00

pizza

Winterbiscuit · 11/05/2016 19:37

I like Florentina. I didn't think of pizzas! Just looked it up and it's a Spanish saint's name.

Abecedario · 11/05/2016 21:55

Pizza here too.

I taught a Flori once, as an alternative to Flora /Florence.

MiddleClassProblem · 11/05/2016 21:56

Pizza and now I'm hungry...
And now I'm thinking of Florentines...

Marzipants · 11/05/2016 21:56

I want pizza now?

What about Florence?

flamingnoravera · 11/05/2016 22:28

Florin is ok.

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 11/05/2016 23:53

You mightn't like the nn Tina, but your DD might do, so on that basis. I'd avoid

julfin · 12/05/2016 08:16

I think it's beautiful. But you couldn't stop her using the nn Tina if she wanted to.

Sophronia · 12/05/2016 09:27

How about Florinda instead?

Only1scoop · 12/05/2016 09:28

Makes me think of those yummy biscuit things covered in chocolate.

Much prefer Florence

Pipilangstrumpf · 12/05/2016 10:49

I really like Florentina! I think Flo or Florrie were more likely nicknames than Tina.

I thought the Pizza was Fiorentina..? I also love the name Margherita despite that pizza being much more popular. People won't think of the pizza once they meet a little Margherita or Florentina imo.

MitzyLeFrouf · 12/05/2016 10:55

Florentine pizza or chocolate florentines.

RiverTam · 12/05/2016 10:56

I didn't think of the pizza or football club, but it does look like the brand name for a kind of juice or something. Don't like it.

MiddleClassProblem · 12/05/2016 11:00

I new a valentina who went by Tin

seven201 · 12/05/2016 11:01

Pizza!
