I like it! (m)

I think Florence is a pretty name. Flora would be a cute nn, especially better than Flo.
I have the same feeling about Elizabeth. I like the whole name, but no nns. I think if the parent calls them the full name or a nn they like, relatives and people close to the family wil catch on. By the time the child is old enough to care what friends call her, she will have made her own decision, so if little Florence wants to be called Flo, her friends can, but that doesn't mean it has to change at home.
