I was wondering whether Florence was too old sounding for my DD. Whenever I think of a Florence I think of a nice old lady! Am I overthinking??

It’s a beautiful name

Florence was ranked no 15 in girls' names for 2018 (the most recent year for England and Wales official government statistics).

So it's top 20. Pretty popular. It's been steadily rising up the charts. A nice name, however, with a great heroine for inspiration.

Love it! It's cute for little kids.

I too think it's an 'old' style name but it's beautiful. I would use it.
It would get shortened to Flo.
