Do you have a preference for shortenings? My DD1's friends call her something I hate. Doesn't matter of course. Just a thought.

Francesca Rose, definitely. Lovely names, and now can be made more juvenile for cute kiddy nicknames (frannie!), elegant for when she grows up.

Congratulations on your little one!

Do you prefer Frankie or Gaby? Because that's what everyone will call her.
I like Francesca/Frankie.

I'm not sold on any NNs... I'll always use the full name, but don't mind what other people call her!

Both are nice but prefer Gabriella Rose.

Francesca Rose (I am biased though Smile) I think Gabriella is nice but don't like Gabby which for me would be the natural shortening. Having said that I don't like Fran but there are lots of other nn options to choose from for Francesca, Frankie, Cesca, Cescy, Chess, Chessie to name but a few!

Gabriella! A little bit more unusual and I love Gaby too.

Gabriella. She'll thank you when she's learning to spell her name.

Gabriella.

Gabby, Bri, Ella, Bella etc. can all work as nicknames.

On the other hand, I can't stand Fran or Franny.
