    Nope Hilda and Sylvia. Great-grandmothers were Annie, Elizabeth, Edith & Gertrude. Also got a great-great grandmother who was Annie.

    MIL is Joan.

    Florence is a lovely name. My friend had a little girl last year that they called Mabel which I love (the name & the baby!) There are some lovely old names that I think should come back. Far better than the cr@p the "celebs" insist on.

    I love Florence but I used to be a Pontins Bluecoat and they had a clumsy, pink ballerina character called Florence that I had to dress up in. Name was never the same again!
