Clementine and Beatrice are my fav from the list.

marmitecake · 22/06/2022 09:29

Beatrice. That sprung out immediately as a perfect combination to Florence. If you're into nicknames you have Bea and Florrie or Flossie too.

I know you are saying Beatrice but have you considered Beatrix which is rarer and quite pretty?

prettylittlethingss · 22/06/2022 09:29

Florence and Clementine are both beautiful.

Mymoneydontjigglejiggle · 22/06/2022 09:38

I also vote Florence or Clementine

Fashiontatts · 22/06/2022 09:46

Florence and Phoebe were what we were choosing between when our DD was born! Both v pretty names

MrsSamR · 22/06/2022 10:09

We are expecting DD number 2 in October and are also thinking of very similar names to these! Clementine and Cecily are our frontrunners - DD1 is Ophelia so needs to be something that goes with this. Florence and Mabel are both lovely but we know of other girls at DD's nursery with these names so would avoid personally.

Others on our list if helpful as we seem to have similar taste:

Persephone
Ianthe
Pandora
Cressida
Matilda
Tabitha
Seraphina
Georgina
Ottilie
Jemima
Evelyn
Romily
Clover
Violet
Daphne
Cassandra
Audrey
Clara
Claudia
Harper
Margot
Aurora
Isadora
Cordelia
Sienna
Perdita

Love Mabel, Phoebe, Beatrice and Cecily and Florence.

DontLikeCoffee · 22/06/2022 11:13

Love Clementine. Florence is a bit over done, to me. There are a lot of them.

emmathedilemma · 22/06/2022 11:17

ooh they're all lovely, apart from Wilhelmina / Willa which is quite awful IMO.

youcantparktheresir · 22/06/2022 12:05

Wilhelmina? No...

The rest are very typical Mumsnet appealing names but I do like Mabel and Cecily

Theoldwoman · 22/06/2022 12:48

Beatrice or Phoebe I love

GreatStuff67 · 22/06/2022 13:02

I know a Wilhelmina who gets called Minnie. That's another possible nickname. ☺️

Mumofgirls2017 · 22/06/2022 13:45

Love Mabel and Clementine! (But also like Florence)

Luxa · 22/06/2022 19:20

Clementine and Beatrice are both lovely. I'd go for Cecilia rather than Cecily. Other suggestions - Willow, Cassia, Georgiana, Rosalie, Amber, Sophia.

MyLifeNow20 · 23/06/2022 22:55

Delilah?

JustMaggie · 23/06/2022 23:37

I really like Wilhelmina

pantjog · 24/06/2022 00:01

All pretty apart from Mabel and Wilhelmina which I don’t like.

bloominglovelyorange · 24/06/2022 22:09

I love Florence and would stick with that. Never met one but love the name

bridgetreilly · 25/06/2022 12:19

I love Cecily and Wilhelmina, though I prefer Minnie to Willa.

user1492757084 · 26/06/2022 14:12

You can't go wrong with Phoebe.

Do you like Flora?

popcorndiva · 26/06/2022 14:18

If you don't want a super popular name then I wouldn't go with Florence. Every other girl that's been born in the last year I know of has been given that name. So far 5 and counting in my small circle of acquaintances.

powershowerforanhour · 27/06/2022 01:33

Clementine

midsomermurderess · 27/06/2022 13:35

Mabel. I’ll also throw in Doris.
