My grandmother's name, and a family name on both sides; however, one of them was actually named Florrie, which puts me right off but does show that it was the standard go-to nn. That, and Flo. And both of them are not to my taste at all, so in spite of all those elderly relatives I took a long time to warm up to Florence as a full name. Now, I like it very much but only on condition that it doesn't get nicknamed in any way at all.
