Nickname Flo or Florrie. We're pretty sure on Florence but we have no idea on a middle name!!

Help please! Smile

Florence Violet vetoed by DH because he reads Violet as Violent.

I like Florence but it is probably the most popular baby girl’s name where I live. At least one in every baby class I attended with my little girl. It is a beautiful name though so I can see the appeal. I like the nn Florrie.

Victoria, Elizabeth, Emily, Lillian, Genevieve, Josephine, Catherine, Charlotte, Claudia, Serena, Erica, Roxanne, Emmeline, Margot, Cornelia, Miranda, Annabel, Caroline.

Florence is beautiful

I’d go with a short middle unless your surname is short

Florence Alice
Florence Anne
Florence Mary
Florence Kate
Florence Isla

I personally don't like the name Florence at all and its so, so popular now...but...we all don't like the same names! If your heart is set on that name I think

Florence ivy or
Florence Marie sound nice together

I like Florence but it’s so popular now, there’ll be 2 or 3 in every class. It’ll be like Laura and Lauren when I was at school.

And the machine ?

Seconding Florence Charlotte or Florence Amy. Also:
Florence Lucy
Florence Imogen
Florence Annabel

Florence Martha sounds perfect to me - nickname Florrie or Floss.

I love Florence. I taught one in yr 7 this year but that's the first I've come across.

It was one of DS2's girl names (he is 14 for context). The other one, maybe the middle name, was Agnes (so, Florence Agnes which spells FAB with our surname! or Agnes Florence).

Everyone always hates Agnes tho. Someone once told me it's a good thing he was a boy! Shock

Sparklesdontshine · 11/02/2018 20:21

I absolutely love the name Florence but it does put me off that there's so many Angry

ChocolateCrunch · 11/02/2018 20:39

Popular name. How about:
Florence Eliza
Florence Isabel
Florence Sophia
Florence Matilda

Myunicornfliessideways · 11/02/2018 20:45

Love it, was in my final three for girls' names. Always loved Flora too. Frankly anything as a middle is going to sound pretty.

Florence Rose
Florence Elisabeth
Florence Isabeau
Florence Victoria
Florence Louise/Louisa
Florence Marisa

Lennythelion14 · 12/02/2018 07:32

Florence is beautiful name. Florence Ivy, Florence Rachel, Florence joy, Florence kim, Florence Hannah, Florence Imogen, Florence Orla. Florence Ivy is my favorite.

bearcubby · 12/02/2018 08:30

Ohh some really good suggestions here, thank you everyone!! It's not like me to go for one of the "popular" names as dc1 is barely top 100. But I just can't help myself, I love it.

Particularly loving Florence Ivy and Florence Viola, will update once I've spoken to DH! Grin
