For a girl - Florentina.

Is it too long?

Do you know anyone named this or have you ever heard of it?

Cute pet names?

TIA!!!

vanessrose · August 2011

I think Florentina is very pretty...its not too long my daughters name is Vincenza and I am naming this little girl Adellina..its whatever you like.

You can call her Flora for short or Tina or just call her Florentina.

I call my daughter Vincenz or even cenz sometimes...

I think its a beautiful name Smile

I actually really like it-it's feminine and I haven't heard it used much. It makes me think of a 18th-century Italian lady-in-waiting:)

I think "Chicken Florentine" - Wink

but it is still SUPER CUTE!

I immediately thought of spinach- Eggs Florentine. Sorry. Sad

I like it and I don't think it's too long - it does lend itself to several nicknames if length becomes an issue.

ZooCrewMom · August 2011

I like it. I know a Florencia (lives in Costa Rica) who goes by Flo. I'm not crazy about the nickname Flo though.

Ditto, but it is very unique~

Ditto, I thought 17th/18th century Italy as well. Very femenine, and 'nice' unique, not 'wacky' unique (meaning, not a 15 letter name with three apostrophes and only one consonant, lol). I like it quite a bit.

This If this LO had been a girl would have been Annalise.

My first thought was it reminds me of food-chicken florentine, etc. However, the more I say it, the more I like it.

kbarker719 · August 2011

I thought of food too. My first reaction was "no way," but like pp said the more I think about it the more it grows on me. I think the nn Flo though would be a bummer. I work with a Flo/Florence and she's a psycho, so that has a bad association with it for me, but this is your baby so you get to do what you like.

wenbow · August 2011

I have no idea of the origin, but I think of Florence, Italywhich is a gorgeous Italian city. In Italy, the city of Florence is actually spelled Firenze. Go for it!

my nursery progress

NurseLaLa · August 2011

Honest thoughts: don't like it. I'd hate to be named that :S

pearblossom · August 2011

I like it. I immediately thought of the character Flor from Spanglish.

erin_aaronsbaby · August 2011

NMS, but it's pretty. I don't think it's too long, and I don't know anyone with the name. Nicknames: Tina, Renn, Flo...that's about all I can think of.

angel2288 · August 2011

Makes me think of food, more specifically pasta. But it is feminie and pretty, and you could use Flora for a nickname (i believe that mean flowers, but im not 100% sure)

SharonWantsABaby · August 2011

How about Flora?

albertabride06 · August 2011

NMS, reminds me of food. Sorry.

water-fairy · August 2011

It only makes me think of a "fiorentina", which is a high type of steak in Italy. Would not name my baby like that.

Ritzy19 · August 2011

I don't like it. I'm sorry.

I don't mind "Flora", but "Florentina" isn't my favorite. Not even 100% sure why. I don't think it's the length that bothers me. I guess I just think it sounds kinda' strange.
