[Opinions] Bobbsey twins!
in reply to a message by Kinga
The Bobbsey Twins were some of my favourite books as a kid. It's a series of novels with two sets of twins as siblings: Bert and Nan, Freddie and Flossie. Because of that alone, I'd love to hear the name Flossie!! It's childish look and sound make me feel like it would need to be a nickname though. Florence nn Flossie?

Yeah, it's pretty childish. I think that's part of the charm for me, but I agree that it would probably need a formal name to fall back on I GUESS harumph.Florence nn Flossie I think is the traditional useage but I already have a great-Aunt Florence... maybe Frances-Louise nn Flossie? Too contrived?

Or how about something like Flora-Susan?

Ooh Flora-Susan is really nice! I love a fresh-sounding double name and that is super cool.

Frances-Louise? No way, that's not too contrived at all! I like it.
