Lots of these will be spelt incorrectly. Some are a bit stuffy and old fashioned. Some are cute but not great adult names.

My favourites would be Iona and Clara.

Edenember · 07/05/2020 13:54

@peperethecat Floure.not keen on Fleur

peperethecat · 07/05/2020 13:58

Is Floure even a name?

Edenember · 07/05/2020 14:00

@Lifeaback Thankyou xx

@peperethecat yep

OP posts:
Edenember · 07/05/2020 14:03

@NC4Now surname 2 syllables beginning with a T. 2 middle names, to use some up 😂

OP posts:
peperethecat · 07/05/2020 14:13

I've never heard of it and it's drawing a blank on Google. I definitely wouldn't use it. People will think you just can't spell Fleur.

Edenember · 07/05/2020 14:30

It’s pronounced completely differently to Fleur but as it would be a middle name only myself my nearest and dearest and the child would need to know how to say and spell it really.

peperethecat · 07/05/2020 14:38

Honestly I think it's the worst of the lot. Confused

I will take your word for it that it is a name.

Edenember · 07/05/2020 14:42

@orangedod Thankyou X

I love Florence but if your thinking of Floure as a middle name then that won't work!! 😂 I really do love Eliza but would thi k nicknames would be more likely be liz or lizzy like they would be for Elizabeth

Edenember · 07/05/2020 14:52

@sparklypurpleunicornsaremyfav yeah.. middle names are even more up in the air than first ones 😂 far from decided. Obviously wouldn’t put those 2 together xXx

I have an Eliza. Nickname has settled on Lize or Lizey (not Lizzie). Not Ellie even though I tried Wink

ElectricTonight · 07/05/2020 15:39

Alyse

ElectricTonight · 07/05/2020 15:43

Just seen Alyse is Alice so I take that back!

My favourite would be Indie.
