Middle name for baby Florence ….

We live in the UK & have Italian roots. Surname is Italian. We have 3 middle names we like for Florence. Opinions please? Which do you prefer?

Florence Aurora - an Italian we both have always loved and agreed on

Florence Giovanna - my mother in laws name is Giovanna, so would be a nod to her. Which is usually the tradition (but first name though not middle name). So thought this would be a compromise. Quite like the name too.

Florence Valentina- Thought this would fit well considering she was born end of feb. So as you can tell we are in a rush to register her.

Opinions ASAP please!! Xx

Florence Giovanna is lovely. Not keen on your other options

I love Florence Giovanna!

Florence Giovanna sounds beautiful; flows really nicely. Valentina is a lovely name but Florence Valentina is much harder to get your mouth around.

Florence Giovanna sounds beautiful, definitely go with that!

Giovanna without question

I love Giovanna and Valentina not keen on aurora

I love Giovanni and Valentina.

Aurora is lightweight and not very classy.

Giovanna!

Another vote for Giovanna! I like Aurora too but the family connection is nicer IMO.

Florence Giovanna is gorgeous. I have a 3 year old Florence Faith. Smile

I love Florence Giovanna, closely followed by Florence Valentina.

Another vote for Giovanna. It flows nicely and sweet to have the family connection x

Florence Giovanni x

Florence Giovanna.

I have a Florence Marie.

DotDotDotDotDot · 21/03/2022 13:22

Giovanna and Valentina are both stunning, I’d be tempted to use one of them for a first name. Although Florence is nice it’s quite popular where I live, I know quite a few under 3 years old.

NessieMcNessface · 21/03/2022 13:48

Love love LOVE Florence Giovanna! Wonderfully Italian.

LongingToBeByTheSea · 21/03/2022 14:02

Another vote for Florence Giovanna. It's beautiful and has the family connection.

Meandthesky · 21/03/2022 17:07

Aurora is one of my favourite names so I would use Florence Aurora

FairyPolkadot · 21/03/2022 17:11

Valentina
