Sounds like what a dentist would name her daughter...

I like how this name looks. It feels more like for an older female, but it still feels simple and sweet. Flossie is an elegant name, unusual and rare. Just alright!

Flossie loves to floss. Yeah, no don't do this to your child. She would get made FUN of her beautiful white teeth!

A nickname to a one who flosses his or her teeth daily, even if more than once.

The ULTIMATE old lady name. Please don't even think about giving a baby this dowdy name.

I love this name, though I would never use it. It's more of a guilty pleasure name for me. I think the dental floss associations are a bit too strong for it to sound like a proper name.

Flossie is a better nickname for Florence than Flo, by a mile. (At least, here in America. Is "My Aunt Flo" a phrase used in Britain?)

The pronunciation given here "FLAW-see" only works for some (and not all) North American accents. It makes no sense for anyone British, Australian, etc. I think if you write it as "FLOSS-ee", everyone will understand.Anyway, I do like this funny old nickname, though I think it's best just to use as an occasional affectionate pet name around the house. Funnily enough I have heard that it is used for Sophie? Don't know if that's true - Florence certainly makes more sense.

Sounds old-fashioned, and quite infantile and cutesy. Makes me think about flossing one's teeth.
