I know two and know of one other but haven't yet met her. They are all under three. Oh and my guide leader was also called Florence! She must be in her 80s now.

Three in one class here. It's the new Louise or Sarah.

One 5yr old child, nn Flo. And one cat of indeterminate age, belonging to MIL.

One, aged 10, mm Flossie.

BellaGoth · 31/08/2017 20:44

1 4YO child.

She is in my son's class. He idolises her so as a result all of his cuddly toys are also called Florence. As is the car. He also tried to rename his baby sister but I had to put my foot down on that one!

Despite its popularity in my immediate area I love it.

BackforGood · 31/08/2017 20:44

None.

Since being o MN, I've come to the conclusion that names are more regional than I used to think.

fufulina · 31/08/2017 20:46

3 - Two x Flo (both 9) and Florrie (5). DD currently in a holiday camp thingy with a Flossie.

HalfSiblingsMadeContact · 31/08/2017 20:46

One ? in her 30s at a guess, one about 7-8. At least one abbreviated to Flo I believe.
