I love Flora. It has a delicate, classic kind of beauty about it, without sounding old fashioned. It doesn't make me think of floors, more the goddess Flora and flowers. I like it as a name on its own, rather than as a nickname for Florence. I'd expect a nickname for that to be Flo or Florrie, as Flora's etymology is unrelated. And I'm not too fond of Florence anyway, as just makes me think of the city. City names don't work for me.
