Quotations

  • 1840 William Gilmore Simms, Border Beagles: A Tale of Mississippi, Donohue, Henneberry, 1890, page 398
    It is a sweet name, Florence, but not as sweet as herself. But you shall see her with you own eyes.
  • 2006 Sophie Hannah, Little Face, Soho, 2007, ISBN 1569474680, page 3
    I am glad that I chose the name Florence for my daughter, a real name with a history, rather than something that sounds as if it has been made up by a fifteen-year-old pop star's marketing team.
