Where are all the Florences?

Top of our list at the moment, but has got super populate- up in the 20s for top 100 names and has shot up the list over 100 places in the last few years. Heard of a couple little Florences, but through schools, nurseries playgroups etc have only met a handful. Asked a midwife this week and she has delivered very few. We are in London, thought it would be a hotbed of Florences. Those of you who claim to know loads, where do these babies and toddlers live?! What sort of name is it? Apart from fairly popular?

I know seven under 5. It is the name that I know the most children with. South East, not London!

Perfectly acceptable, even if her brother is named Zebedee.

I don't know a single one.

It's a gorgeous name with lovely nicknames.

I know one 10 year old Florence but I am in a similar profession to the midwife you spoke to and have not come across one Florence in 4 years in the South East. I think the most frequent name I come across is Amelie.
