Beautiful and strong

Lovely Smile

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 30/05/2017 18:06

Beautiful - although I would use Ivy Florence instead because I love Ivy more.

Either way round though, it's a great name.

Allthebestnamesareused · 30/05/2017 18:15

what initial for the surname though.

Hopefully not K or C or she'll be "fik" "fic"

steppemum · 30/05/2017 18:24

I really, really like it. (that is rare on baby names threads!)

Think about a nn you like, as the default option is Flo, which isn't great.

usernamessuck123 · 30/05/2017 18:32

Thanks all Grin

Surname begins with M so hopefully not too bad initial wise?!

Pretty name Smile

I prefer Ivy Florence, because Florence always seems to get shortened to Flo, which is grim.

greenmelon · 30/05/2017 21:01

Love it! Beautiful name

Allthebestnamesareused · 30/05/2017 21:12

Friend's Florence nn is Flossie not Flo!

Love love love Florence! Ivy I could take or leave, but, that's just me- they are nice together.

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 30/05/2017 21:22

I prefer Ivy , but they're beautiful names.

Epipgab · 30/05/2017 22:04

Both lovely names Smile

We have an Evie Florence. Didn't use Florence as a first name as we weren't keen on the nickname Flo. Dd is still known as Flo Grin I love Ivy though!

KoolKoala07 · 30/05/2017 22:57

I love ivy. It's on my list. Dh not keen. My great nan was called ivy.

usernamessuck123 · 31/05/2017 09:27

Thank you all!! Ivy is a name passed down through my partners family so the name is based on that really!
