[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries, thank you so much for all of your help on my previous thread.
We’re down to [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u] and [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]. 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!
[name_f]Rosamund[/name_f]: her nickname(s) would be [name_f]Rose[/name_f], Ros/Roz, or [name_f]Rosie[/name_f].
[name_u]Florence[/name_u]: her nickname(s) would be [name_f]Fleur[/name_f] (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?), [name_f]Flor[/name_f], Rence, or Rencie.
Both [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] [name_u]Florence[/name_u] and [name_u]Florence[/name_u] [name_f]Rosamund[/name_f] 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
