Those of you that know a Florence ...

[BubblesomeBella]

What nicknames is she known by?

Flossie / Flo / Florrie

Flo, but mainly people use Florence

Flo

Thanks thought Flo would be the most popular

My MIL (83) has this as a middle name and she absolutely hates it - very few people know she even has a middle name. Sometimes DH and I wind her up by calling her Flo!

The one I know is Floss - but her mum had to really work at it!

Captain Caveman (long story)

The one I know is Flo

I know two Flos and a Flossie

I know two one Floss and one Flo

But if you are thinking of using this name I reckon it will be very popular at the moment, what with Florence and the Machine.

I know a Floss and a Roasie

i had a 3 legged cat called Florence.
I think it's a lovely name- she was named after my Great Auntie Flo.
Her name was Florence Harriet.

Florrie and Floss(ie)

That should be Rosie - I was thinking or roast chicken whilst typing!

Flo- but I don't like it. I think Florrie/Flossie are much nicer, especially for a small child.

Florrie

Know a little Florie (one r) and always assume she's actually a Florence but not sure - she appears on school lists as Florie.

Granny.

Was my mum's name

My two year old dd is Florence and she is known as Floss or Flossie. I like it as a nickname as it is a bit different.

my 7 yr old sister is florence, often called flo. i love her name however my mum wonders if she may have been more studious and less paris hilton like if she had been called harriet, which was her second choice.

Flo.

Grandma (great minds, Orm!)

Grandma was called Floss or Flossie. She hated it. Thought it sounded like a sheepdog. Fortunately she was too old to think it sounded like a dental product.

But whatever her name, she was a great Grandma and I miss her. Thanks for the reminder.
