Fransicka could be Frances in English.Balbina doesn't really have a distinct English spelling.Elsavich ?? I have never of this name, but Elizabeth would be a good Anglicization.

Francesca is not all that uncommon, althought often the french around here use it, not the english as much
I can't think of anything close to Balbina except maybe Bailey
and shortening Elsavich to just Elsa, which i see mostly german familes using, but used widely in english cultures~Silver

Concerning Elsavich...Is the person a female? I'm wondering because in Russian (and Ukrainian, I think), the suffix -vich means "son of". If you've already posted that Elsavich is a female, then please excuse my confusion (I'm of Slavic descent.)Phyllis (aka Sidhe Uaine or Gaia Euphoria)
