Thanks to the lovely @readingreverie (sorry Mollie, I feel like I’ve tagged you too much today!), I’m back in love with the lovely Merit/Meritt/Merritt for any gender. I’d love to see which of my Merit combos so far are you Berries’ favorites.
Florence is more buttoned-up, Flora is more friendly. Florence is very English while Flora is very international. I think Flora is everything Florence is (minus the regal vibe, but nobody’s naming Queens nowadays, I can easily see a Lady Flora Something, though) but Florence isn’t everything Flora is.
[name_f]Florence[/name_f] is more serious and I almost want to say professional/business-y? And a little bit tomboyish, or at the very least less daintily feminine
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] is similar and I could see her with a darker vibe, but generally feels more lighthearted and girly. She’s also just a lot more versatile and feels more like a basic building block of a name, if that makes sense
Please don’t apologize for tagging me!! I love seeing new notifications in general, but especially when they mean I’ve helped someone fall in love with a name (or back in love)!
I used to much prefer it for a boy but recently I’ve been loving it on a girl, maybe it’s the makeup brand but it makes it feel so sleek and sophisticated on a girl
[name_f]Flora[/name_f] and [name_f]Florence[/name_f] do have similar energy, but the only way I can think of to explain the slight difference is that [name_f]Florence[/name_f] would be spinning in her bedroom in a dress and tights feeling like a princess, while [name_f]Flora[/name_f] would be outside, barefoot, making flower crowns.
I would say Zenaya is usable…however I can mainly just see an incomplete [name_f]Zendaya[/name_f]! It would depend on where you lived and how much you associate the name with her, if you do at all.
Middle name for Lorelai is still a work in progress but I can see how to get Lola and it’s been suggested in the past and on various sites. I did include the middle name for Eleanor as Magnolia gives it an extra oomph to get Lola as a potential nickname.
Which Boy name should I find a middle name for next
