Hiya,

We really need some honest opinions on our baby names please...

We are having a baby Girl in July (already have a 2 year old boy called Harrison)

I Like the name...

Eliza Annabelle King or Eliza Winifred King

But my OH Loves the name...

Florence Elizabeth king
(If she isn't an Eliza then the middle name has to be Elizabeth)

There is one issue with Florence the initials would be F. E. King (which is a huge issue for me)

Am I over thinking this?? What's your thoughts guys??

Xxx

Eliza Florence King would be nice.

dottiedaisee · 18/02/2021 00:25

Eliza,Florence.. absolutely love the name Eliza.X

Thedogscollar · 18/02/2021 00:38

Eliza is lovely. I like it with Annabelle.
Winifred just a no no from me.

FancySomeChips · 18/02/2021 00:50

If the initials are a problem, add another middle name eg something beginning with letters other than c, a or e and maybe r and k
Florence Elizabeth Ivy King
Florence Elizabeth Joy King
Florence Elizabeth Hope King
Long ...but negates the initials issue
Etc

Enough4me · 18/02/2021 00:54

Florence may be shortened to Flo, could you use that to put him off?

My eldest has a similar initials issue, which I wish I had considered at the time.

I’d go for Elizabeth Florence King nn Eliza

I agree re FEK - you can’t

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 18/02/2021 01:00

Yeah, I'd be wary of the initials F.E.K or F.E. King - actually even F. King might be iffy (I'm normally not fussed about initials if they spell innocuous things like J.A.W or C.A.R , but kids can pounce on rude things).

I'm not keen on Annabelle or Winifred. I'd use Eliza Florence (so you both get names you like) although personally I much prefer Elizabeth Florence (with the nn Eliza) - as Eliza as a given name is very trendy at the moment, where as Elizabeth won't date.

bonfireheart · 18/02/2021 01:05

All nice except winifred.

LouNatics · 18/02/2021 01:06

I’m not sure FEHKing/FEIKing is much better than FEKing overall. I see your concern there OP.

You’ll probably also want to avoid WANKing and TWERKing ( just JOKing but you do have an A, E and a W in the mix)

Eliza Florence?
Annabel Elizabeth?

Firebird83 · 18/02/2021 01:19

I like Eliza Winifred

IckleBear · 18/02/2021 07:37

I like Eliza Winifred, too..
That or Eliza Florence

LeonaMar · 18/02/2021 08:00

I think Eliza Florence is beautiful!

IthinkIm · 18/02/2021 08:15

You can't do FEKing

user1493494961 · 18/02/2021 08:43

I don't like Winifred but Florence, Eliza and Annabelle are all lovely.

Ijustlikedthename · 18/02/2021 09:33

FEK F.King F.E.King all would be a no no for me

noname55 · 18/02/2021 16:52

Florence Elizabeth is beautiful but agreed it doesn't work with those initials.
Eliza Florence is a nice suggestion.

BallsToYouSue · 18/02/2021 18:47

Eliza Winifred King is amazing!

I do love Florence too.

BallsToYouSue · 18/02/2021 18:47

Oh yeah FEK, like feck. That might not be the best initials.

Pudding01 · 18/02/2021 19:02

Love the combination of your names: Eliza Florence 😁

Charlotte210292 · 18/02/2021 19:05

Thanks for all the replys. Due to all of your responses my OH has finally accepted that we CANNOT use the initials F.E King. So thank you!!! 🙌😁.

Just to confuse things we have just added Beatrice/Beatrix Elizabeth into the mix 😬

Thoughts on Eliza or Beatrice/Beatrix??? Xxx

Cressie2 · 18/02/2021 19:19

Eliza Winnifred!

BallsToYouSue · 18/02/2021 19:21

Beatrice is lovely. Beatrice Florence King? Very elegant!!

Much as I love Eliza, (and I really do), there is something more timeless with having a complete name on the BC. So Beatrice Florence or maybe Elizabeth Annabel King? Known as Eliza.

Suzi888 · 18/02/2021 19:22

Eliza Annabelle King -
I’m not a fan of Florence or Beatrix (potter) unless Beatrix is the middle name.

iPhonie · 18/02/2021 19:24

Beatrice Elizabeth King is perfect, I think!

LarkDescending · 18/02/2021 22:05

Still Eliza Florence for me!
