My partner and I are struggling to decide which girls name we like best, which do you prefer?
The middle name will be Florence after my grandmother.

Ivy (I have loved this name for years but I’m really put off by its recent popularity)
Polly
Lila
Autumn (partner says it’s too out there and I’m in two minds)
Blossom (partner says it’s too out there again!)

Thanks 😊

Ivy- awful
Polly- parrot
Lila- it's ok
autumn- also ok but a bit of a mouthful with Florence
Blossom- not with Florence. Two flowery names is a bit much

Autumn is a beautiful name, but surely for an autumn baby.
Blossom - I know a staffy and a bill mastif call blossom
Polly - classic and really nice. Someone you’d be friend with.
Ivy - nice but popular here
Lila - meh

Polly or autumn

Ivy by miles. The others don't go with Florence to my ear.

Yennefer19 · 08/12/2020 22:43

I absolutely love Blossom but I don’t think it goes with Florence. I think the ones that go best is Ivy or Lila.

Polly by a mile. I love Polly Florence. Ivy would be my second choice.

Lila is a bit, I don't know, insubstantial. Autumn isn't my style.

Blossom is just ridiculous, sorry.

Polly, although I prefer Molly. Autumn would be my second choice.
I don't like Blossom at all, sorry.

I love Blossom.

MercyBodle · 09/12/2020 11:52

I love Autumn, Polly and Ivy, probably in that order. Lila is okay, but I just find it a lot like several popular names at the moment (Layla, Lola, Lily etc). I would use Blossom for a nickname if you love it.

northstars · 09/12/2020 11:54

I like Autumn and Polly a lot - pretty and not too common.

RuthW · 09/12/2020 12:10

Love Polly and Autumn. I like Blossom. Don't like Lila.

How about Polly Florence Blossom
Or Autumn Florence Blossom?

brads88 · 09/12/2020 13:31

What about Florence Blossom?

I think they're all lovely names though Smile

@MonaLisaPiles

Polly by a country mile
That is exactly what I was going to say.

Ivy then Lila then Polly
