Which one?

[Elisabeth3468]

We like the name Florence but struggling for a middle name-
Florence Emilia
Florence Valentina

Which is nicest?
I don't know if the Florence Valentina sounds too Italian and we aren't Italian 😅

Any other suggestions throw my way

Florence Emilia sounds far better!

Florence isnt name of city in Italian, but both name strike me Roman-esque. Also Shakespearian.
Florence Matilda
Florence Phoebe
Florence Gwen
Florence Cecily
Florence Alice
Florence Helena
Florence Juliet

@Elisabeth3468 Emilia is Italian. See attached. You could try Amelia!

Both Florence and Emilia are extremely popular names (possibly a tad overused even) so I'd go for Valentina as it's a bit different.

Surname initial?

I've always loved the name Valentina, and I think Emilia is a bit overdone at the moment. Florence Valentina is lovely.

I prefer Florence Valentina

I agree with this. I always like the idea of middles being an alternative if their child ends up hating their first - so having them feel a bit different to the first.

Florence and Emilia/Amelia are both very popular/of the moment, so it makes sense to me to have something a bit leas popular in the middle.

I don't mind over used really. I just like classic names. My son is called Henry x

Florence Emilia, unless the initials make a word. Valentina seems too long and fancy.

Florence Valentina is lovely.

Florence Emilia.

I honestly would go for something less fancy/frilly because Florence is frilly to me.

Florence Kate
Florence Ann
Florence Joy
Florence Clare
Florence Louisa
Florence Ivy
Florence Ellen

@Elisabeth3468 Emilia is hardly classic. It’s an area of Italy and was rarely used as a name 20 years ago. Valentina is lovely. What about Violet or Victoria? Valentina whilst seen as having a Roman origin is also used in other cultures including Russian. The first woman in space was Valentina Tereshkova.

Didn't even think of this! The initials would make the word "FEW" 😅

I like both but how long is your surname?
I think Florence Valentina sounds lovely but I'd too look at the initials your child would have.

@Elisabeth3468 , I though it might be Carter-King.

There were some SODs at school with me.

It's a very long surname beginning with W. Polish surname as my partners grandad was polish so name has carried through .

Neither. Just Florence. It doesn't need a middle name!

I prefer Florence Emillia but both are nice!

I like Florence Emilia, but as it makes her initials FEW, here are some ideas

Florence Sophia
