Finally...we think we've agreed to name our little girl Zinnia. We both love it and I appreciate you may not but it's been a bumpy road getting here so please don't put me off! We were going with either Francesca (family tribute name) or Vera ( my first favourite) but both sound dreadful with Zinnia and for reasons I won't go into we have no wish to give tribute to other family members! Zinnia Frances is a possibility. Any other suggestions please?

Zinnia Frances is great. Don't let anyone put you off. And don't tell your family before she arrives either!

Zinnia Frances sounds great.

Very pretty

Zinnia Frances is lovely, but Zinnia Francesca also sounds fine to me.

PassportBridgetPants · 06/08/2018 05:23

Zinnia Frances and Zinnia Francesca both sound nice I think. Zinnia Cesca?

You could just not give a middle name. I personally think they are only useful if them mean something. They rarely get used so I don't see the point otherwise

Raines100 · 06/08/2018 07:28

I actually think any of them will work fine.

If you're after names that flow really well, the you want either a single syllable mn to counter balance the length of Zinnia, e.g. Claire, Joy, Jean, Jane, etc, or a name where the second syllable is stressed e.g Francine, Celeste, Colette.

Or anything else tbh Smile

Zinnia Frances sounds fine (although I have a soft spot for Francesca)

ReginaPhalange89 · 06/08/2018 08:14

Zinnia Frances or Zinnia Francesca sounds lovely! Very sweet.

Although I'm not personally a fan of middle names so Zinnia is nice on its own too. Me, oh and the two kids don't have middle names !

Thank you! Zinnia Frances is definitely the front runner.
