I have a niece called Francesca. We always thought her name would get shortened but it hasn't as of yet.....she's still Francesca. Lovely name.

Caitlin Iris

Francesca Alice

Caitlin Iris doesn't sound right to me.

IdahoGreen · 28/08/2019 22:19

Francesca. Caitlin is an Irish-American mispronunciation of an Irish name which isn’t pronounced at all like ‘Kate-Lynn’.

itssquidstella · 28/08/2019 22:17

Francesca Alice!

Lobsterquadrille2 · 28/08/2019 22:16

Francesca Alice. Frankie is a cute nickname. Unless your surname begins with T, which would be a little Frederick Algernon Trotteville esque.

AverageMummy · 28/08/2019 22:13

Don’t really like any of the options but Francesca is the best

kylieeee · 28/08/2019 21:54

Another vote for Francesca Alice! I have a couple of friends called Francesca. One of them shortens to 'Chesca' which really suits her and I think is nice! The other is always Francesca Smile all Lovely names though xx

Caitlin Iris. Agree that Francesca always ends up as "Fran" or "Franny" which doesn't exactly sound elegant.

daisypond · 28/08/2019 21:34

Francesca Alice. I don’t like Caitlin at all.

DramaAlpaca · 28/08/2019 21:29

Caitlin Alice.

Unlike pretty much everyone else on the thread, I can't bear Francesca & all its diminutives are hideous.

CloudyVanilla · 28/08/2019 21:22

Francesca Alice orrrrr Francesca Caitlin sounds great too! :)

MrsBertBibby · 28/08/2019 21:04

Caitlin Iris. Alice is so goody-two-shoes, and Francesca will end up as Franny which is vile.
