Florence meaning

I like my name teache's always compliment my name I like that nobody else has it it feels unique!

Named my first daughter Florence. Its not popular which is great but not weird either like calling her apple or princess. She really suits it and prefers to be called Florence. She is 6.

My sister's name is Florence and she was born during 1962's. She loves her name because it is not as popular as it once was and her name'stands out in a room full of Brittneys, Lisas and Cathys.

My name is Florence, I am 22 years old and definitely appreciate the name more now than as a child. It is very unique at my age, I am named after my grandmother who is 81! I get tons of compliments on my name, the biggest one being beautiful. It is also well suited with my middle name, Violet (which is my great grandmothe's name). Nicknames consist of Flossie, Flo, or as my nephe's say O. I definitely prefer just being called Florence though.

I enjoy the name Florence it is also my name and i people also calls me Flo or Flo-jo or Florence Griffith

My little niece is called Florence or Flo for short and It'suits her very well. It's not too girlie but pretty.

i am called florence and i do not appreciate you making an article aboyt my name.

I love my name Florence. When we're in Europe especially, people compliment me on such a pretty name. And they usually pronounce it as Florenza :) ... I think the name is making a comeback.

Very popular name in india, Rahul means " able, efficient" in sanskrit also it means RELIABLE.It is the name of Buddha's Son

I know someone xallwd florence and thay are really nice! It means to bloom!

i've known several women with this name. I am 76 yrs old; one I knew as a young teenager - 'Flossie' (her nickname) was about 30 then. Another, nicknamed 'Flo', is exactly my age. I kind of like the name, but prefer that it be used as 'Florence', as a neighbor who was related to 'Flossie' preferred to be called.

My daughter is a Florence but we all call her Flossie which she loves, and also there are no other flossies in her'school which makes things really easy!

It's a great name, but It's definitely an older woman's name. I was named after my grandmother.

I was given'the middle name Florence, named after my granny, i used to feel embaressed by the name, but i have grown to like it, as it is pretty.

Though we're not pregnant yet, my fiance' is deadset on having a "junior." However, this Isn't something I like, as I wanted more original names for our kids, and, since my fiance's name is Michael, that's about as unoriginal as they come! Also, there are 8 Michael's in my family! But we've come up with a compromise. When/if we have a little boy, we are going to name him Michael, after his dad, but, we will call him Mac. I just love the name and think it would suit a little boy, as well as a man.

Florence Harding was a feminist and first woman to vote for her husband to become president. She was known as Flossie by friends, but The Duche's by her husband because she took charge. My grandmother was also named Florence. The height of the name's popularity was when Florence Harding was first lady, 1920-1923.

i love this name, It's so beautiful. it was my dad's favourite sisters name- r.i.p. Aug. 21, 2021:

Love this name. If I have a daughter, it will be her name and we'll call her either Florence or Flo for short. I think Flo sounds really tough and Florence sounds really feminine, so she'd get the best of both worlds!

Definitely a European name ! Totally love it ! Changes from all the Karen Kathy Debbie ...

Still sounds a bit Gertrude-ish...but I think Florence may make a comeback, whereas Gertrude, I think, will forever be in the background. And perhaps, in 2030 AD, we may see a new generation of Janets, Brendas, and Maureens - and by this time Florence will be seen as 'dated' again, if more Florences than usual are being named in the next five years or so. If the'same thing happens to Brenda and Maureen in, say 2060 AD, then perhaps everyone may be ready for another dose of Sharon and Tracey.

Florence Nightingale the English nurse (born in the city of Florence in Italy of English parents in the year 1820 AD) made this name a favourite in the late 19th century - it was in the American'top 10 in the 1870s and again in the 1890s and 1900s, after which it faded somewhat and is a very rare name at the present time. Yet although it has a clunky image, I think this no-nonsense name is now ready for a comeback.

Our 1 year old is a Florence and people act surprised to hear it and then pleased by its uniqueness and beauty.
