Scottish Baby Girl

[GirlMama91]

Help! My partner and I are down to two girl names - Morven (big peak/child of the sea) or Flora (Flower).

Which is better? Both work well with middle and last names. Initials are fine. Baby doesn't look like one name more than the other.

Love them both….not helpful 😂. I heard Flora recently on tv as a character in something and actually thought to myself that it was a lovely name. Morven will probably often get misspelled as Morvern if that’s a consideration!

Both lovely.

Where do you live? If outside of Scotland I’d go with Flora as I think people outside of Scotland may struggle with the spelling or pronounciation of it. I’ve never heard the name before and wouldn’t be sure exactly how to say it. I also think flower is a nicer meaning than ‘big peak.’

I absolutely LOVE Flora. Not as keen on Morven as it reminds me of Morden tube station.

Flora is lovely!

Much prefer Morven

I love love love Flora!

Not in Scotland

I mean pronunciation. Both are nice.

Flora is lovely (but don’t you dare spoil it by calling her Flossie).

Love Flora as a name but sadly doesn't work w our surname .

Flora

Morven is spectacular for a Scottish lass.
It sounds strong. Morven climbs, dances and explores.

Flora seems less confident.

Both lovely, but Morven just wins for me

Morven

Both are lovely names but as Flora is so popular I would choose Morven.

Morven.

My mum wanted to call me Morven after spending summers at Morven in Caithness but my dad vetoed it.

Flora is a beautiful name. Would have been on our list for DC2 if DC1s name wasn’t so similar.

Flora is prettier! Really lovely name
I haven't heard of morven I have heard of morva though. I don't think it's particularly nice it sounds like mourn to me.

Flora I always think is very wet and drippy.
