Florence...too popular now?

I have a Constance, nn Connie and like Florence as a potential name for our next DC if we have a girl (due soon) but I can't decide if it's too popular now?
I love that we don't know any other Connies!
Has anyone got any more suggestions?

If you like it, use it. It is quite localised I think. For example, I know 3 Florences in my small village, but as a primary school teacher in a large nearby town I haven't come across any. From the rest of your list, I know a Cadence, called Cady, which I think is lovely but maybe too similar to Constance. I also know two Penelopes, but they are each the only ones in their respective primary schools.

I don't know any Florence's.

However I like -

Marigold. nn Mari or Goldie. I know a lady called Goldie and it really suits her!

Penelope nn Penny works wonderfully with Constance.

I agree Rose is beautiful and fairly under used as a first name.
If I've had a second dd she'd have been a Rose.

Pearl?
