[Opinions] Flora or Florence
Which do you prefer? Any thoughts on either name?

I prefer Flora.
Flora.
I wish I liked Flora! Good nature name; wonderful character in Cold Comfort Farm (I smile whenever I think of her); ticks all the boxes; but that margariney bread-spread slime puts me right off.
Florence, therefore. Pleasantly retro, and Miss Nightingale is an interesting namesake. Just try to avoid the ghastly Florrie and Flo.

Flora is a brand of margerine.

I prefer Florence. It's a really pretty name.
Maybe I'm biased because it is my mothers name, but Florence. Flora seems so frumpy. Old lady with frizzy gray hair in a floral print dress.
Plus I like a lot of -ence names too.

I prefer Flora. Florence still feels stuffy to me.
Florence is nice, but I prefer/love Flora.
I like both, but I'm more of a Flora fan. They both have their charm. Flora sounds more spirited, while Florence is more reserved.
I like Florence better. Then when ur wee ones character develops u can see what most suits her and it can be shortened to flora.
Flora and Florence are both elegant, but Flora is also sweet and very friendly, so she wins. :)
I love both names, but I have a slight preference for Florence. Its meaning is beautiful, it shares its name with a gorgeous city in Italy, and Florence Nightingale isn't a bad namesake at all. I like that it has a bit of age to it. I find a lot of feminine names are cutesy, dainty, and darling. Florence has strength. She's not there just to look pretty. She's admired because of her intelligence and work ethic.
I much prefer Flora to Florence. It's my number two girl's name. It's softer and more feminine to me.
