Hi,

I am currently pregnant with my 2nd child and we know it's a baby girl Smile
We're stuck between two names so any opinions would be great! We already have a Harry and we're stuck between Evie and Florence, any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Both nice. I prefer Florence but don't like Flora or Flo. And if I was going to use Evie I'd want to have Evangeline or Evelyn on the birth certificate. I'd probably go with Florence and try insisting on the full name.

Harry and Evie are a bit of a mouthful said in the same sentence and there's something quite similar about them.
I prefer Florence and think it 'goes' better with Harry.
Eve would be OK.

I think we've started to lean more towards Florence too. If we were to nickname her then it would be 'Florrie' as I agree, can't stand Flo or Flora!

Florence!

Florence. Evie and similar names (Eve, Eva, Evelyn, Ava, Edie, Ivy)have been very popular for ages.
I don't like Evelyn or Evangeline, but I do like Eve.

Florrie is a lovely shortening of Florence (which is a lovely name!)

Zizou04 · 04/10/2022 16:26

I prefer Evie.

I do know a girl who has daughters called Florence and Tuppence

Blahburst · 04/10/2022 16:28

Evie is really cute but also classy for a grown woman. I don’t like Florence, sorry.

vulpix123 · 04/10/2022 16:29

I'd go with Evie but i'd have to spell it Eevee because I'm a pokemon fan 😀

I prefer Evie.

Actually called tuppence? I know a tuppence, real name is Penelope, so it's a play on Penny.

I disagree that Evie is classy (sorry). I think it's trendy and twee. Eva would be classy, IMO, or Eve, but not Evie as a given name.

Florence is so beautiful and much classier.

DuchessOfSausage · 04/10/2022 19:14

Eve is classy, Evie is nice but a bit twee, Eva isn't classy (Eva Braun)

PrimroseWharf · 04/10/2022 21:26

I prefer Florence. It goes nicely with Harry and Florrie is a lovely nickname. Evie is a bit downmarket compared to Florence. Prefer Eva or Eve if you want Evie but Florence is a much better choice.

GlassDeli · 04/10/2022 22:01

Both are nice but I think we've had peak Evie, Ava, Eva, Eve etc. very recently. Florence is lovely.

I like retro names- Hannah, Helen and Polly. My DF had an aunt Polly who sounded like an amazing woman! But I am quite old...

HoppingAndHoping · 13/01/2023 21:26

Florence is nice!

(I quite like Eve and Eva but definitely prefer Florence.)

Mumofgirls2017 · 13/01/2023 22:46

Florence 100%

DashingWhiteSergeant · 13/01/2023 23:36

Florence (Florine) is good, but from the choices mentioned in this thread I adore Penelope and all it’s short forms.

DashingWhiteSergeant · 13/01/2023 23:37

*Florrie not Florine
