Hi berries, thank you so much for all of your help on my previous thread.
We’re down to Rosamund Florence and Florence Rosamund. I adore both, but obviously we can only choose one first name for our baby girl and time is running out.
I’ve loved these two names for as long as I can remember!
Rosamund: her nickname(s) would be Rose, Ros/Roz, or Rosie.
Florence: her nickname(s) would be Fleur (I don’t know what’s wrong with me, but I can’t seem to get the pronunciation right?! Is it pronounced like flur, rhyming with blur?), Flor, Rence, or Rencie.
Both Rosamund Florence and Florence Rosamund flow well with our last name, which makes the choice all the more difficult.
I agree that both are lovely! I prefer [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u] because I prefer the nicknames, [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] is adorable.
Also, Fleur is indeed pronounced to rhyme with blur! It’s a bit more tricky to describe its pronunciation with a French accent, but rhyming with blur is lovely. There’s also the easier-to-pronounce nickname Flora, if you like that. It’s my favorite!
I would pick [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] and use the nn [name_f]Flora[/name_f] which obviously is a pet name for [name_u]Florence[/name_u] but also references the “Rose” in [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u]. [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] is such a gorgeous rare ‘rose’ name that feels regal and elegant. She’s a fresh choice with the lovely nickname [name_f]Rose[/name_f] or [name_f]Rosa[/name_f]. She feels effortless teamed with [name_u]Florence[/name_u] in the middle name slot.
[name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] is pretty but [name_u]Florence[/name_u] (in the UK) is becoming increasingly popular and despite being beautiful doesn’t feel as sparkly
I like both but [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] is just gorgeous. [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite nns for [name_u]Florence[/name_u] are [name_f]Florrie[/name_f] and [name_f]Flor[/name_f].
Oh I absolutely love both! Both [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] and [name_u]Florence[/name_u] are such lovely, soft and calm names. I like the nicknames for [name_u]Florence[/name_u] a little bit better, but that’s my personal preference. What do you think about [name_f]Rosa[/name_f] as a nickname for [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]?
If i had to choose, I’d pick [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] Florence… [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] is just darling!
[name_f]My[/name_f] vote goes to [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f], it’s gorgeous! Seconding using [name_f]Flora[/name_f] as a nickname
It’s my favorite!
i pronounce [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] rhyming with blur
