Is Prudence going to become as 'fashionable' as Florence? They are so similar?

Prudence seems old fashioned, where Florence has moved from old lady to quirky.

Abbreviated, Flo is also much nicer than Pru (which to me is just an insurance company)

Florence isn't my favourite name in the world but it's far preferable to Prudence which I would be very surprised to see soar in popularity.

Prudence is so dowdy, and of all the virtues to have, being prudent must be the most boring of all.

After chastity of course.

I don't know of any resurgence of the name Prudence but have to say I prefer Florence of the two.
