Flora by the numbers
In 2025, 193 babies in England and Wales were named Flora. In the US, 222 were, though that figure is from 2017, the most recent full year we hold.
For the size of the two countries, it is given several times more often in England and Wales than in the US.
Its American peak was 1,566 babies in 1920, so it is a 1920s name that has since fallen a long way.
At its height, in 1880, about 1 in 270 American girls born that year was called Flora.
