Longer versions of Flo

Girl Names
1

[name]Hi[/name]! My husbands favourite girl name is now [name]Flo[/name](the only girl name he liked before this was [name]Mimosa[/name] hehe). If we have a girl I would like her to have a longer more formal name.

I have loved [name]Flora[/name] for a few years but am wondering what other names [name]Flo[/name] could be short for besides the obvious. My favs are [name]Flora[/name], [name]Florentine[/name] & [name]Florien[/name](but more so for a boy). [name]Florence[/name] is a bit lacking to me somehow.

Thank you!!

P.S. I don’t care about the Aunt [name]Flo[/name] connotation some of you may have. In Australia we call that thing a period. Like the thing at the end of this sentence. :slight_smile:

Ones I like the most are bolded:

[name]Filomena[/name]/Filomine
Floramine/Floramina or Flomine/Flomina (-mine is pronounced “meen”)
[name]Floralia[/name]/Floralie
Floramarie
Flomira/Flomyra (I kind of just made that up, but Mira and Myra are real names, so its like a combo)
[name]Florida[/name] (if you’re into place names)
Florazel (means “young woman in bloom”, meaning doesn’t change if you add an extra L or A at the end)
[name]Florette[/name]/[name]Floretta[/name]
Florbella/Florabelle
[name]Florella[/name]
Florena
Florellen
[name]Florentine[/name] (I’d like to think its pronounced like [name]Clementine[/name])
[name]Floressa[/name]
[name]Floria[/name] (Like [name]Gloria[/name]… Come to think of it Glo is a nickname for [name]Gloria[/name])
[name]Florinda[/name]
[name]Flower[/name]
[name]Flora[/name]
[name]Fleur[/name]
Floralai (Pretty much [name]Lorelai[/name] with an F in front)

Really I think you could pair [name]Flo[/name] with [name]Marie[/name], [name]Maria[/name], [name]Ellen[/name], [name]Ella[/name], [name]Bella[/name], Anna, Ette, Mine, [name]Mina[/name], [name]Lynn[/name], [name]Lee[/name], Lie, [name]Leigh[/name], or any other common name combo or ending.
