My daughter is the only one in her school. She is almost 6 and goes by Florence mostly. I call her Flor, she sometimes signs herself as Flo.

I know 3 under 5, they either go by Flo or Floss/Flossy

Seven off the top of my head. The eldest is 6, one is 4 and the others are all under 3. Most are just Florence, one Flo and one Florrie. It is definitely one of the most popular girls name at the moment.

2 under 3. Both mostly called Flo.

This topic comes up a lot, or maybe I notice because I am one!

I am 33, I know OF 2 others who are friends of friends same age as me, and know OF one friend of a friends baby. Have never met another I don't think, but I don't know loads of kids.

It used to be unusual Envy. Also was Envy about Cameron using my name.

Also I prefer the full Florence until I feel I know you well enough for Flo!

Also I get very frustrated by periods being called Aunt Flo. Which is silly I know.

I don’t know anyone called Florence but I absolutely adore the name and would love it for a little girl shortened to Flo, my little boy is called Freddie though so I can’t have Florence and Fred Grin

My dad's sister is called Florence. So there were times when Auntie Flo was literally coming to visit...

3 between 6-12. It's a magic name, in a roundabout kind of way.
