I love this whole family of names. Fiorenzo reminds me of Fiorenzo LaGuardia, an ex-mayor of New York. Fiorenza is such a fun, frilly name...wish I saw it half as often as we see Isabella, Evangeline, Anastasia, etc. I think they're both a little tricky/unfamiliar to Americans who aren't Italian or from New York.

Also love Fiore, but that would probably be butchered even worse in English, and almost certainly wouldn't be taken for a girl's name at first sight.

As an American, I only think of Florence as a feminine name. I like Fiorenzo for a man.

I kind of like them.

Fiorenza sounds pretty, like Esperanza.
Fiorenzo sounds okay, like Lonenzo.
