Love the name Francesca, but honestly, can I avoid the NNs?

I only know frankie's and 'chesca's.

But as pps said, nicknames are pretty unavoidable. I remember one of my friends was slightly gutted when her Benjamin became a Ben pretty much overnight upon starting school.

Although I also know a Thomas who won't countenance Tom. Depends what the kid wants to go with I guess.

Frankie as well. Nicknames are unavoidable. My ds is William and he gets shortened to Will or Bill and this has happened since he started school. Even the teachers do it.

But what if she wants to be known as Fran though. It'll be her name so her choice.
So if you really don't like any of the nns. I'd avoid it personally.
Eg I love Nicole but I can't stand Nicky so I'd never use it.
