My name is Francesca and I love it. Sadly though I very rarely actually hear it as most of the time I'm called either Fran or Franky, and even sometimes Chez. My name is used so little that some people don't even realise my full name is Francesca, I've worked with a woman for a year now and she only realised last week that my full name ISN'T Frances Hmm

Daisy.

Daisy.

All the Francesca shortenings are awful.

Daisy

The Francesca's I know are Fran and Frannie

I know a Francesca who shortened to Decca which I think is really cool!

Another Francesca here. I love my name but also love Chez which I go by most of the time with family and friends. People will shorten it so if you aren't keen on that then perhaps it's not name for you. The number of times I introduce myself as Francesca and then people call me Fran Envy I always correct them but it starts to get a bit old and sometimes I know people think I'm being precious, but I'm past caring now.

I prefer Daisy

HollyBollyBooBoo · 18/03/2017 05:47

I think every name gets shortened!

Francesca goes to Chesca or Ches amongst my friends.

I know 2 Francescas
One is Fran and the other is Checky. Both girls are lovely so it gives me happy memories IYSWIM I think it's a great name.

I like Daisy too but would she get called Daze?

I know an adult Francesca who is known as Chekki.

I love francesca and frankie is a cool teenage girls nick name. Chesca is a cute child's nick name.

I know a Francesca always called Chess/Chessie. Love Daisy.

Daisy is classy and timeless. Makes me think of the film curious case of Benjamin button.
Fran is not nice.
