Francesca nick names

[newyearnewshoes]

I love the name! Will it automatically be shortened to Fran or Frankie though? Or does anyone have any other ideas for nicknames? TIA!

Cesca?

Francie (like France - y)
Chess
Cesca (Cheska)
Fanny (what my mum was known as in the 50s).

Lovely name

I know a Chezy

Like Francie! Never heard that one before! Amd really like Cesca. Very pretty! Thank you!

I know a Frenchie.

My cousin's DD has that name and is called Franca.

I know a Chessie.

My Francesca is Cici

Chessie, Franny, Frankie, Frank, Cheska

Love Franca

But lots of people will call her Fran.

in Italy Francescas are often Chicca (pronounced like the children's brand Chicco, so hard 'c's) but we're not in Italy so don't know how useful this is to you...

If DC2 is a girl she's going to be Francesca/Frankie, although I like Fran a lot too.

Frankie is ace.

Essy?

Chessa? Or give her a middle name that you actually use as her name to be known by that you like until she's old enough that Francesca won't be shortened to a way you don't like

Will still end up as Fran for many, sorry.

I knew a Chessie at uni - lovely name on an even lovelier person.

There is a Frankie is my family.

My Italian friend is Francesca nn.Francy (pronounced like Frenchie but Franchie). I also know Fran's and Frankie's.

My Francesca is ches or chessie at home but Frankie or franks on the sports field. She is nearly 20 and loves her name in all its variations!!

My Italian friend Francesca is always Franca.

I like Frankie and Cheska. Chessie is a nickname for the (slightly rough and I can say that because I'm from there!) town of Chesterfield, to me (and many other northerners).

My German friend Francesca is known as Franzie.

My dd's friend is Francesca - but is always called Xesqui (pronounced Chesskie) She grew up in Spain, it's a lovely name.

Most Italian ones are either Francy (Franchy) or Chicca (Kika) (I know a family who go by Chicca, Checco and Cece (chay chay) Took me years to work out what they were really called.

Very old ladies are Franca.

I think in the UK you are more likely to get Fran or Chesca.

I know 5 Francesca's or Francis'. All of them are called fran.

All of the ones I know (students at school and friends from uni) are shortened to Fran. The one exception is an Italian lady who is always called Francesca.
