Just that. It's my current favourite. It seems a bit different from most of the popular names at the moment, more grown up and less cutesy. But is it everywhere? I know very few and know a lot of under 6s.

OP posts:

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I know just one, she's 5.

So, a yes in answer to your OP. It's an elegant name though, I wouldn't worry about popularity.

It's in the top 30 and still rising. Check stats in August for another rise. I haven't met a new Florence for a couple of months, they must be hiding under rocks because they do exist

I know a few 60+ too (now that is anecdata)

I have one aged 3 but have not met any others.

It was on our shortlist for DC2 (who was a boy in the end) so my Florence-radar is "up" and has been for the past few years. I've still yet to meet a single one.

No I don't think so. My friend has just had one and everyone who asks says how unusual it is and how their great gran was named Florence. It's lovely

I love Florence. I don't know any and I have 3 dc under 10. Think it depends where you live.

It seems to be a very popular middle name among people I know.

There's 6 in our infants and there's a few at the local nursery.

But none in the Junior school, so it is on the increase in our area at the moment.
