why did people EVER name their daughters fannie?

i work at qvc as an order entry rep and a few days ago this woman called from her mothers house, her mothers name being fannie. so i got her phone number to get into her membership, and her name was nacole.

nacole.
nicole, with an A.

i feel like only someone named fannie would name their daughter nicole with an A.

i think i'm going to start writing down the weird ass horrible names i see at work all the time and report back. y/n? could be slightly entertaining, at least.

Fanny is a good name! Fanny Price, anyone?? And besides the fabulous Jane Austen nod, it can be a nickname for Frances, Francine, Francesca, etc. Not my favorite nn,I think Frannie is a tad bit better, but I adored Mansfield Park so much I'm willing to let it slide.
I'd name my daughter Fanny over Nacole any day of the week. ;)

I think Fanny Price's real first name was Frances, though. At least, it implied she was named after her mom or sb whose name was Frances.

And as for that name, I don't think it's any worse than a guy being called Dick instead of Richard.
