IS FLORENCE A COMMON BOYS NAME?

could you be so kind to stop laughing now? this is a serious question.

well there's this band i like very much and there is this song, that i like very much... and this song... well I think it's a guy who sings to the former girlfriend of his actual girlfriend. i mean this person is called FLORENCE!!! hello which mentally sane person would call his or her male child florence? but on the other hand - italians call their sons andrea... so can anybody tell me? is florence a boy or a girl? - please say it's a girl... please!!!

artist: smashmouth
song: flo
album: fush yu mang

your friends keep telling me
i bear a striking resemblance to someone you used to know
but baby's it's me
so why the hell do you keep calling me "Flo"
and i would hope
that you would have the decency to
let me go
in case of an emergency

but you keep reassuring me
telling me to just quit tripping on it
and maybe its me
i guess that i should probably get a grip on it
but it’s hard to do
every time i see that tattoo
over your heart
it ain't right i cant even look at you

why you doing what you're doing
you should be doing what you want
who the fuck you think you're fooling
she's the one you want

Florence if you hear this wont you
come and take your girlfriend back
she's been calling out your name
everytime were in the sack
she's been a mess since you've been apart
so Flo if you had half a heart
Florence can you hear me
can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
can you hear me Flo

we’re been going for a while
but lately she's been somewhere else
she don't even smile
and i think it’s a cry for help
and i would pray
that you would have the common courtesy
to take her away
it ain’t right she don't belong to me

why you doing what you're doing
you should be doing what you want
you're the only one your fooling
she's the one the one you want

Florence if you hear this
wont you come and pick your girlfriend up
she's been talking in her sleep
and i think i've had enough
she's been a wreck since you've been away
so Flo if you have something to say
Florence can you hear
can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
can you hear me Flo
Florence can you hear
can you hear me
