Is Florence becoming overused?

My husband and I like the name Florence for our baby girl, but I am concerned that there seem to be lots of other Florences in our area and I am worried that she will end up having tons of other Florences in her class. What are other people's experiences of this name please? Am I just being paranoid here?!
