Down to two...!

[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! :slight_smile:

Thanks for your thoughts!

I prefer [name_f]Simona[/name_f] because of the elegance it exudes.

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 prefer [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. I like the name as a whole as well as the possible nn of Flow and [name_u]Ren[/name_u].

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. :slight_smile:

I like [name_f]Florence[/name_f] nn florie is adorable. [name_f]Simona[/name_f] is pretty though. Maybe keep both as options until she is born.

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_u]Love[/name_u] all of these thoughts! Thank you so much!

[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.

[name_f]Simona[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] are both gorgeous but [name_f]Simona[/name_f] immediately captured my attention.

[name_f]Florence[/name_f] is very granny chic in my opinion whereas [name_f]Simona[/name_f] comes off as sweet but kinda sassy too and I love it

If you’re willing to budge on the middle name would you consider [name_f]Simona[/name_f] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]?

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Florence[/name_f]!

I prefer [name_f]Florence[/name_f] [name_f]Rose[/name_f] as well. I like the nickname potential that [name_f]Florence[/name_f] offers.

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! :slight_smile:

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. :stuck_out_tongue:

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.
