Thoughts on Florence?

[Sunshine1996]

Partner has suggested and although I like it does it seem a bit of a mouthful? I do like the nickname
Flossie, not overly keen on Flo however I don’t mind it.
Middle name would be Alexandra, after my sister who passed away. Our surname is also quite long which makes me think the whole name seems too long.
Any other suggestions welcome. I love Esme but my partner doesn’t. My other daughter is called Isla, so name popularity doesn’t bother me!

It's lovely in full... just makes me think of Aunt Flo when shortened!

Mum was adamant that DS would be called this (if he was a girl). Not sure why... I wasn’t adverse to it but we had something else kicked for a girl (and I was pretty sure baby was/is a boy)

I know a 4 year old Florence with the middle name lsla - lovely!

I have a Florence. I thought I'd call her " Flossie" but it never came out. I always call her Florence. Although she has the personality of a Flo, her nursery teachers started calling her that one day and it made me laugh.

I hated Flo and said she'd never be called that, but she is a little Flo. Although she announces herself as Florence so Flo hasn't stuck.

I love Florence! Such a beautiful name!

Yes, that is lovely.

My daughter is also called Florence and I love it! Florence Alexandra sounds great

I love Florence but I don't like Flo or Flossie which is the only thing which would put me off using it.

It's a beautiful name. Doesn't seem like a mouthful to me.

Florence is gorgeous name.
Flossie is bad for obvious reasons (floss) and so I flo (menstruation)
I would absolutely still use Florence as the nicknames you mentioned never even crossed my mind before.
