Frances or Stella?

[Mimiiiiiii]

nickname would be Frankie if we go with Frances, i am still considering Francesca or just Frankie.

Opinions on which is your favourite out of Stella and Frances(ca) and why please!

Frances or Stella yes. Francesca no for me.

Francesca is my favourite, it's beautiful, but I'd never use it because of the NNs.

Frances

These were both on my 'list' I didn't use either Francesca or frances because of the nicknames. Frankie is awful imo. I didn't use Stella either but I still really like it.

Frances. I do love Stella too but from those choices it would be Frances.

Frances

I like Francesca, esp Frankie, but recently met someone who pronounced it Fran-sess-ca, whereas I'd only ever heard it as Fran-ches-ca before and much prefer the latter.

I prefer Stella, but the lager connection would probably annoy me.

Stella. I really like Francesa and Frances, but not Frankie.

Stella is a lovely classic name with a lovely meaning. You will probably get twats saying 'why name her after a lager?' but the name Stella was in existence long before the lager name was invented, and will be there long after Stella Artois is forgotten. Estella is lovely too.

Frances is a classic name too though, but for some reason I'm not so keen. It always sounds a bit unisex to me (maybe because of the male version, Francis) and just has a slightly plain feel, although it's absolutely fine. Doesn't have good nicknames either. I do like Francesca.

Hate Francis, love Francesca. Stella is fine ? A bit 80s?

Stella is a great name, one of my all-time favourites!

Francesca is lovely more outgoing in my opinion, I'd associate Frances with a quiet, studious child and Stella in the same category of Francesca. Stellamaris is lovely it means star of the sea.

I like them both. The only Frances I know went by Francie as a child. She was indeed studious and quiet. I think it's a fabulous name but I really don't like Frankie on a girl so would have to vote Stellla.

In order of preference:

1. Francesca, (lovely)
2. Stella, (not in love with it, but it's ok)
3. Frances, (not in love with it, but it's ok)
4. Frankie, (not keen)

I love them both! What a great choice! I would probably go with Stella just slightly ahead only because a friend has a Frances.
