Francesca Alice for me too!

Rachelover40 · 28/08/2019 19:54

I third the above.

Francesca Alice.

Love the name Francesca! I’d use it for a girl but I have a Francis so that might be too similar Grin

Another vote for Francesca Alice. Gorgeous.

Francesca Alice

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

CloudyVanilla · 28/08/2019 21:22

Francesca Alice orrrrr Francesca Caitlin sounds great too! :)

AlpacaGoodnight · 28/08/2019 21:27

Francesca Alice

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.

daisypond · 28/08/2019 21:34

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

daffodilrosedaisy · 28/08/2019 21:52

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

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

AverageMummy · 28/08/2019 22:13

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

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.

itssquidstella · 28/08/2019 22:17

Francesca Alice!

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’.
