[Opinions] Re: Florence for a boy?
in reply to a message by summitseeker
Floris, which is Dutch and derives from Florentius, is old-fashioned here in South Africa but still usable. I would far prefer it to Florence, which I've actually never seen as a male name other than in Ireland, and I'm willing to bet that it;s not in sue there any more; probably since Florence became popular for girls in the 19th century.
