Baby Florence

We have the possible boy name down, but are now struggling on the girl name again!

Baby is most likely going to be born late July or early August.

Husbands top name is Giulietta. I’m not a fan of the Giu spelling, but like Juliet and Juliette especially if born in July.

Our compromise name is Florence to go with Lorenzo and Charlotte.

I really want to use the middle name Lavender. It’s my favourite name and I think I can sneak it in despite my husband not being a fan.

Florence Lavender Juliet
Florence Lavender June (sounds best imo but is it weird if she’s born in July?)
Florence Lavender Isabel

Florence Lavender ___?

I absolutely adore [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] so bright, romantic and elegant :tulip:

I voted for [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] mostly because I think if you’re making your favorite name the first middle despite your husband not liking it then it’s only fair to put his favorite name as the second middle. I actually think [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Giulietta[/name_f] or [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Julietta[/name_f] would be the best choice.

This is an incredible name. :face_holding_back_tears: I’m absolutely swooning. What a stunner. Feels so special, whimsical, and bright!

I did pick a combo but fwiw, I think [name_u]Florence[/name_u] and [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] are pretty close sound-wise, as in, they overlap on 6/7 letters in the same order.

[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]! Its a lovely sweet vintage choice and I dont think it would be weird if she was born in [name_u]July[/name_u] since [name_u]June[/name_u] is an established name and it would be a second middle

[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is gorgeous!

I like [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Isabel[/name_f] too :heart:

[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Giulietta[/name_f] or [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Julietta[/name_f] would be sweet, so you both get a fave in the middle spot!

A few that came to mind:

[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Estella[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Cosima[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Constanza[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Gaia[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Ines[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Noemi[/name_f]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_u]Zoe[/name_u]
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Josette[/name_f]

[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] is really pretty and elegant. I do like the connection of her being born in [name_u]July[/name_u] to the name [name_f]Juliet[/name_f].

However, I voted for [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u]. Like you said, the flow is the best - it’s a really swoonworthy combo in it’s own right. I also feel like [name_u]Florence[/name_u] and [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] are already pretty long names so adding another three syllable name might be too much, but [name_u]June[/name_u] is perfect.

[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Juliet[/name_f]! It’s beautiful and darling. [name_u]June[/name_u] is pretty good too.

I agree with @/OpheliaFlora that [name_u]Florence[/name_u] & [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] are close, as they share the [name_u]Loren[/name_u] sound. But I don’t think that’s something really noticeable, and you’re good to go.

I hear and see what you are saying about [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] and [name_u]Florence[/name_u] sharing the same 5 letters. [name_f]My[/name_f] husbands name ends in “Enzo”, so in a way we’ve already crossed the bridge of sharing letters. They sound different enough to me when I say them, that the overlap isn’t bothering me yet. [name_u]Florence[/name_u] will most likely be called [name_f]Flora[/name_f] most of the time, and [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] has a nn too. I’ll sit on it.

Why not just go with [name_f]Flora[/name_f] then? It’s a wonderful name that sounds great with your kids names!

I love florence lavender [name_f]Juliet[/name_f] :purple_heart::blossom::hibiscus:

Because I really like the connection to the Italian city. I studied there. [name_f]My[/name_f] husband lived there. It has the historic female heroine connection, it connects to [name_m]Lorenzo[/name_m] via Renaissance and I like the length of it. Also, [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] and [name_u]Florence[/name_u] have the same vintage appeal to me.
