All of a sudden I have a fascination with the name Francesca  nn Francy/Francy ....

WDYT?

Francesca is ok as a name, but Francy is a horrible nn, imo. It's like this awful mix of Franny and Fancy, but worse than both.

It's funny, I'm not very fond of Francesca, and I really dislike Francy...but I do love Frances.

francesca is my number one girls name. i made a post about it recently.

i absolutely ADORE the nickname frankie. cesca/cessa is another one i thought of (pronounced chess-kah or chess-ah) because i really dislike fran/frannie.

I love Francesca. I went to elementary school with a girl named Francesca and I always thought it was neat. I've never met another one, though I hear it is very very common in Italy.

I don't know how I feel about Francy. I don't think I like it too much. I don't think the Francesca I knew went by a nn.

Francy is a very common nickname for Francesca in Italy :)
but it's pronounced FRAHN-cee.

I like the name Francesca, but I'm not fond of Francy as a nickname. The only nickname I really like for it is Chessa, which I would never use because that's my cousin's actual name.

My name is Francesca, I've only ever been called Frankie though. I prefer Frankie over any other nickname, and believe me.. the nicknames people come up with.. sooner or later you just have to be like.. "uh no" =\

I knew a Francesca who went by Frankie and I always loved it.

I love the name Francesca, but have never liked any of the nicknames (Franny, Fran, Frances, Francy, Chessa, Chessy, etc)

I like it, and I also like the nicknames Frankie, Fancy, and Chessie.

Francesca is really dramatic and not my style, but Francy is...really bad.

Francesca is not my style but OK. Francy just sounds incomplete. Sounds like you're gonna say Francine, but don't get it all out. Or like you meant to say fancy but accidentally slipped an r in there.

I know someone named Francie!

She's very nice.
