Elizabeth Florette Fisher (1873 – 1941) was one of the first field geologists in the United States. She attended and later taught at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). She was also the first woman to be sent out by an oil company for a survey, helping to locate oil wells in North-Central Texas during a nationwide oil shortage. She wrote an influential textbook for junior high students called 'Resources and Industries of the United States'. She stressed the need for conservation, and believed "unclaimed" land should be used for agriculture.

Florette is very youthful sounding, in some contexts even silly. I like it as a nickname for the more upstanding Flora.

In the classic novel/tragedy "L'eau de collines" by the French author Marcel Pagnol an important character for the entire story is called Florette. The novels were later made into movies - "Jean de Florette I + II" staring Gérad Depardieu, Emmanuelle Béart and Yves Montard.

This name reminds me too much of the word flower so I'm not sure I like it.
