Florence Green is fine but Flo Green / Green Flow is not so nice

MikeUniformMike · 04/02/2020 15:15

How about Emerald?

MikeUniformMike · 04/02/2020 15:16

or Winter?

Changedname81 · 04/02/2020 15:28

I think she’d be a Flossie or a Florrie if we were to nickname her Grin

I think it's perfect OP

Florence Green was the last living veteran of the first world war. So yes, excellent name.

Don't shorten her name to Florrie or Flossie though, will make her sound like a Victorian maid servant.

So true

DramaAlpaca · 04/02/2020 22:09

I like it a lot.

norealshepherds · 04/02/2020 22:10

It sounds perfect

El2020 · 05/02/2020 02:22

I feel like a colour on colour surname (Ruby) might not be the best idea but Florence is lovely. A flossie is also a nn for a g-string 😳

Changedname81 · 05/02/2020 05:27

Thanks for all your lovely comments Grin

I think it's lovely

BobbyBlueCat · 05/02/2020 21:44

Lovely, unfussy and pretty.

NoSauce · 06/02/2020 13:26

Gorgeous. Love Florence.

DejaVoodoo · 06/02/2020 15:38

Its really good, because (I think!) Florence means blossoming, so it goes well with Green.
Lovely name.

Marcipex · 06/02/2020 15:41

It’s nice.

Whatsyourflava · 06/02/2020 16:24

Really lovely!

Catlover10 · 06/02/2020 19:11

It’s a lovely name, my sister is called Florence but we call her Florrie Smile

SoupDragon · 06/02/2020 19:13

You were right to discount the ones you did but there's nothing wrong with Florence :)
