Middle names for Florence

First name is set on Florence but we are struggling with middle names.

OH is wants to use Evelyn but with our last name starting with W this then spells out F.E.W !

Any suggestions please of other middle names or a 2nd short middle name to go either in front or after Evelyn

I don't think FEW is a problem, personally - it's not like it means something silly or rude.

But the two obvious alternatives to Evelyn would be Vivien, Lilian or
Jocelyn (all retro/vintage and similar sound/feel to Evelyn).

Otherwise:
Florence Evelyn Iris
Florence Evelyn Hope
Florence Evelyn Faye
Florence Evelyn Faith
Florence Evelyn Clara/Clare
Florence Evelyn Ada
Florence Evelyn Mary
Florence Evelyn Cora
Florence Evelyn Laura/Lara
Florence Evelyn Sybil

Struggling to see what's wrong with FEW, I don't remember a time when I've just written my initials including my middle name and I'm 41 however even so surely it's only an issue if it's something embarrassing or rude?

MyNameHasBeenTaken · 24/01/2021 16:09

What’s wrong with FEW I don’t get it?

MamatoFlorence · 24/01/2021 17:49

Thank you for all the suggestions so far - really helpful to have new ideas and also see some suggestions that we had been thinking too.

Also really interesting that a lot of people are ok with the initials as F.E.W - I personally am worried to have initials spelling a word, even if it’s not a negative one. I think I’m being overprotective of not letting her name be the cause of any potential playground name calling or teasing!

For all those that ask about when are your initials used.... in every office job I’ve ever had we have used our initials to sign internal work sheets / printer or photocopier ID’s / signing off when reviewing work/ internal computer databases use initials too, etc.

That said, FEW is fine. I’ve worked with ARS, DIC, ELM, TNT.... etc Grin
