I know a Florence I went to school with, very snooty and stuck up, liked to make a point about how her daddy always bought her things e.g a horse. Wouldn't name a child Florence purely after knowing her.

Just one (aged 2). Don't think she has a nickname yet.

I call my one Floss or Florrie, or Flofee or Fluff. Or Pickle. But her friends call her Florence. She is one of 3 in her school.

Quite a few, old and young. But I also I know a girl names Florencia which I think is much prettier!

Florence is definitely the most popular girls name in my area. Most of them are still only babies and go by Florence but one or two have been shortened to Flo.

Four, aged between 1-9. It's very popular these days, Flo is the common nn.

4 off the top of my head.

1 is a friend so in her 30s.
The other 3 are all under 2

I only know older Florences (80+) and one who's my age (early 30s). All of them go by "Flo", which is what resoundingly puts me off the name.
