Notes
- Florimond is not a name I would expect to repeat here. It's the name of the prince in some versions of Sleeping Beauty (though not the one from Disney, which called him Philip) and also this Snow White movie from 1916. Another Prince Florimond appears in Mary Poppins in the Park, the fourth Mary Poppins book which came out in...1952. Wikipedia also has a list of real people named that, but would the parents of this batch know any of these Florimonds, let alone name kids after them? For now, I'll say I don't know the influence here.
