Can't really say yes or no. When I hear the name I think about the beautiful city of Florence, Italy, so with place names being so big now, it may come back. Then again, there will always be those who think of it as an "old-lady" name, so who knows... but my brain goes to Italy first.

Florence still sounds a little too "elderly" to my ear, but I love Flora, which sounds similar.

I think Florence WILL make a comeback, just not any time soon -- probably by the time our grandchildren are being born.

JMHO!

I sure hope not, but you never know.

I voted no for Florence, but I do think Flora will make a come back. I would use it myself if I had a second baby girl, and my last name didn't begin with an L. (I would want people to think her name was Floral if she, or I, said her name too quickly.)

Interesting question, though. Thanks.
