Thinking of using Francesca Mae for DD. What do you think?

Love it. Love Frankie for short too.

PaulinePetrovaPosey · 04/04/2020 14:40

Love it, and Fran as a NN.

phoenixrosehere · 04/04/2020 14:40

Beautiful name 🙂

Coffeenofilter · 04/04/2020 14:41

Beautiful!

ThePluckOfTheCoward · 04/04/2020 14:41

Beautiful names Op. Love them and they go well together.

SureSureSure · 04/04/2020 14:42

Lovely name, and Fran/Frankie are nice nicknames.

ofwarren · 04/04/2020 14:42

Not keen on mae as it seems to be everyones middle name in my son's school but Francesca is nice.

SirVixofVixHall · 04/04/2020 14:43

Lovely.

DustyMaiden · 04/04/2020 14:44

Love it, would’ve used it if It had another.

LulusMiniEgg · 04/04/2020 14:44

My DD is Francesca, so obviously I love it! Her nicknames are Cesca (from when she was first born & my DS couldn’t pronounce Francesca) and Frankie (mostly my husband but she suits it perfectly!)

bellylaughs · 04/04/2020 14:45

I have a Francesca Maeve!! She’s 9. We call her Frankie.

NannyR · 04/04/2020 14:45

Francesca is a beautiful name, not so keen on Mar as it's very commonly used as a middle name, but still very nice.

OddshoesOddsocks · 04/04/2020 14:46

I have a Francesca nn Frankie and I can’t imagine her with any other name! Frankie suits her cheeky personality but she’s got Francesca for when she glides down the stairs as a princess, every base covered!

diddlediddle · 04/04/2020 15:28

Francesca is beautiful

Mae is a bit naff, and Mae/May are verrrrry common as middle names. Along with Rose it's like Louise from the 80s. Any other options?

Roselilly36 · 04/04/2020 15:57

I like the name Francesca.

Sexnotgender · 04/04/2020 15:58

Love love love it. I’ve got a Francis 😊

Mae is boring and overdone.

peachypetite · 04/04/2020 15:59

Mae is awful, sorry OP. At least use May. Francesca is nice.

daisypond · 04/04/2020 15:59

Francesca is really nice. Mae is a bit cringeworthy, though.

YessicaHaircut · 04/04/2020 16:00

I love it OP. There’s a Francesca at the school I work in, nn Frannie.

swampytiggaa · 04/04/2020 16:06

I’ve got a Francesca 🙂 she is mostly Francesca but also Frank (in an eastenders style 😂😂) or frankie fart face. Those are at home nicknames 🙂

She absolutely loves Frankenstein tho mostly because of the horrified looks we get 😂😂

She’s 11. Not sure we’ll get away with most of these for much longer.

TheWordmeister · 04/04/2020 16:07

Gorgeous.

TheWordmeister · 04/04/2020 16:07

...Mae is dreadful though.

Second middle name option is Hope

Fueledwithfairydustandgin · 04/04/2020 16:25

I love Francesca but I really don’t like Fran and I’m worried that’s what people would shorten it to. I love chesca as a nn

helpmum2003 · 04/04/2020 16:29

Love Francesca.
Prefer Hope to Mae. May better than Mae.
We had Francesca Alice as an option.
