[name_f]Florence[/name_f] or [name_f]Simona[/name_f]?
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] will most likely be the middle name.
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] is a family name and we just really like [name_f]Simona[/name_f]. Induction scheduled [name_u]March[/name_u] 14!
I’d choose [name_f]Simona[/name_f]. I love that it’s familiar, but also unusual! It manages to feel bold and modern without being tacky or trendy. [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is more old ladyish and hipster-y sounding, with a narrower appeal [name_f]IMO[/name_f].
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is my choice for you…or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]. I like that [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is an honor name. [name_f]Florence[/name_f] has several nickname possibilities; [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Florrie[/name_f], [name_u]Ren[/name_u], [name_u]Rennie[/name_u], [name_u]Lennie[/name_u], [name_f]Flo[/name_f], [name_f]Flossie[/name_f], [name_f]Ro[/name_f], …
I love [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. It’s sweet, beautiful and… down to earth, I guess. I imagine a very nice, pretty young woman in a bright sundress and wide-brimmed hat picking flowers in the garden. She has this warm smile, is soft-spoken and just geaceful.
I love [name_f]Simona[/name_f]! So beautiful and elegant, as pps mentioned. [name_f]Simona[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is the most gorgeous, flowing river of a name.
[name_f]Simona[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] sounds better than [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and I do believe that choosin the name you love is more important than honoring family
Still I must say that I like [name_f]Florence[/name_f] much more than [name_f]Simona[/name_f]
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is beautiful and would get my vote! I love the name [name_f]Florence[/name_f] and all the nicknames that come with it: [name_f]Flo[/name_f], [name_f]Florrie[/name_f], [name_f]Flossie[/name_f]!
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] gets my vote! I love all the nickname options, [name_f]Flora[/name_f], [name_f]Flory[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], etc.
I think we would definitely reconsider the middle name as well. Such as [name_f]Simona[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f], [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Simona[/name_f] or [name_f]Rose[/name_f] with either.
[name_u]Love[/name_u] all the input!! Thank you so much!
[name_f]Simona[/name_f] is very pretty! I’ve always liked [name_f]Florence[/name_f] but it would depend on nickname for me. I do like [name_u]Ren[/name_u].
Yes exactly!! Never been a huge fan of [name_f]Flo[/name_f] so I think that’s why my husband and I haven’t decided on it fully. Tough stuff this naming business!
Oh, I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Simona[/name_f]!! [name_f]Simona[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Simona[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f] are both gorgeous. [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is pretty too, but there’s just something so unique and classy about [name_f]Simona[/name_f] . . .
I agree. It sounds like [name_f]Florence[/name_f] is the safer, more traditional option while [name_f]Simona[/name_f] is a bit of a wildcard but it calls to you? I think [name_f]Simona[/name_f] is the more attractive and “international” of the two. It reminds me of [name_f]Simonetta[/name_f] Vespucci, which reminds me of Renaissance [name_f]Florence[/name_f], funnily enough.
ETA if that’s your surname in your username, just thought I’d add that Simona B____ is exquisite! It reminds me of “Antonia Fraser” — a romantic Latinate name paired with a Scottish surname. Love it.
