About Flossie
Flossie was an extremely popular Florence nickname that was used independently in the early twentieth century, given to over five hundred girls per year a century ago. Appealing, sweet as candy floss, though perhaps a too cutesy for some, Flossie was chosen for nine girls in England and Wales in a recent year.
Flossie was one of the younger twins in the iconic children's book series The Bobbsey Twins, first published in 1904.
Flossie is also given to boys.
Pronounced FLOS-ee.
As of October 2026, Flossie ranked #3707 in US births in 1938 SSA, peaked at #3352 in 1929.
