We really like this name but is it getting really really popular? We live in south west London if that makes any difference!!

Yes, it's v popular and trendy especially in London and I personally can't stand it

Tikkabillajive · 27/05/2012 20:12

I love it, but also know 3 born in the last year!

Pinkcate · 27/05/2012 20:06

I know three born this year it's very now.

It has had a huge surge in popularity in the last 4-5 years but still way outside the top 20 names.

You're likely to meet several but probably not all in your daughter's class. Although if it's popularity is even more concentrated in 'that London' maybe there will be more than one in your daughter's class!

v popular
and yes likely be one of many wee florences in class

K8Kate · 27/05/2012 19:34

It does bother me if there are going to be 3 or 4 to her class!

Personally don't like the name (gets shortened to Flo, makes me think of periods!!!!)...but it is ridiculously popular now, I know of 4 babies called Florence just this past 6 months!

Lovely yes, popular yes.

Does the popularity bother you?
