Dh and I have decided on Flora as a fn if this little one turns out to be a girl. We have a DD who is Scarlett Jean and I would like to use a family name as a middle name but most of them don't really seem to work. Most of them don't seem to work though- I would love some opinions on which mn choice you like best of both the family names and non-family name choices. Any other suggestions would also be great....Thanks!!!

Family
Flora Anne
Flora Phyllis
Flora Alice
Flora Mary Rose
Flora Mary Anne/Marianne
Flora Frances Anne
Flora Caroline
Flora Catherine
Flora Maude
Flora Hazel
Flora Gwendolyn

Non- Family
Flora Tamsin
Flora Constance
Flora Elspeth
Flora Grace
Flora Beatrix
Flora Juliet
Flora Patience
Flora Faith

I love Flora. :) It also sounds lovely as a sister to Scarlett.

As for mn's, I'd steer clear of plant/flower names (maybe even word names in general).

From your lists, I like these best:
Flora Alice
Flora Marianne
Flora Catherine
Flora Maude - LOVE
Flora Gwendolyn
Flora Tamsin
Flora Elspeth
Flora Beatrix

Family - Flora Hazel. I also like Alice but it doesn't flow as well as Hazel
Non Family - Flora Beatrix/Flora Juliet
