Honor.. Florence

So as per my last thread me and my partner have decided on our little girls name to be Honor (there was some dispute over spelling without the u but there doesn't seem to be a definitive answer!) our middle name we had picked was Florence but I don't feel it flows nicely together?
Really want to use Florence as it has family meaning for me and I think it's beautiful but now we're considering a second middle name to break it up? What fits well between Honor and Florence?
Thank you in advance!

Jane. Honor is lovely, by the way.

Anne. Something simple and feminine.

I think it flows quite nicely with florence personally!

Honor Mary Florence
Honor Lucy Florence

Though Honor Florence is just fine, it's unusual and beautiful.

Florence is beautiful! I strongly dislike Honor. If it were me personally I'd ditch Honor and use Florence as the first name.

Honor Florence doesn't flow nicely (it almost rhymes?) so I think you're right, you'd need another name in between.

Honor Lucy Florence (as above) is lovely

Honor Chloe Florence
Honor Amy Florence
Honor Mary Florence
Honor Nancy Florence

Honor Lucy Florence or Honor Amy Florence get my vote. Smile

I would say don’t use anything beginning with a vowel, as you have to sort of force a stop between the end of Honor and the beginning of the next name. Honor is my mother’s name. People always react very positively to it, but it often gets misspelled as Honour. Some people call her Hoe-Nor. And there was some confusion with one of my former boyfriends who thought he was expected to refer to her as ‘The Honourable Mrs such and such.’ Ha!

Honor Florence works perfectly well, but if you really want another name:

Honor Florence Maud
Honor Claire Florence
Honor Florence Ruby
Honor Ruth Florence

Honor is 100 pc the spelling, it's Latin the name
Honour just looks stupid and I dislike the U.

Honor Daisy Florence, Honor Alice Florence, Honor Annabel Florence?
Honor Florence Rose
