Any thoughts on which is a nicer name? I love Florence and don't know any at all but keep hearing how popular it is. Thanks

Oooh, I love them both. I think Frances slightly has the edge for me.

Francesca much prettier than Frances IMO; the Cameron effect makes Florence a bit too "now" maybe.

Frances or Francesca. Florence reminds me of the Magic Roundabout character (yes, I am old).

Frances.

I am over Florence, personally. Very 'of the moment' and will date.

Frances. Beautiful timeless classic!

There have been lots and lots of Florences born over the past 12-18 months around here and I think it will be quite 'trendy' for a while.

Love Frances. Florence is ok, but just ok.
