A middle name for Florence

No options needed on the name Florence, we love it Grin

Can't think of a single middle name but we really want to decide. I quite like nature/flowery names but I cant think of anything that flows nicely. Open to anything though. Surname is white short, 2 syllables begins with B.

Basically I think it needs a middle name that begins with a vowel as I think this flows better.

Beautiful name.

Florence Helena (pronounced (h)ell-ay-na rather than hell-ah-na)
Really like a Florence Eleanor as well, as per a previous suggestion. Deffo 2+ syllables and preferably ending in an 'a' type sound

I wouldn't consider a middle name beginning with a vowel, with first and last initials F and B her initials will form a word - FAB, FEB, FIB, FOB... or FUB, which looks ridiculous.

Also wouldn't have a middle name starting with F, L, R or S, too much of a mouthful.

Florence is a lovely name. Most people don't use their middle names anyway, except filling in forms, but there are letter combinations that flow easily or really badly in a signature if it includes two initials followed by the surname, eg FJBabyname would be an easier and quicker signature than FTBabyname or FHBabyname.

Make her life easy!
