Help[Opinions] Franny and Zooey
I've read the book in June, and loved these two names! For those who have not read it, Franny is Frances, and Zooey is a nn for Zachary.
I find Franny really cute: a bit childish, but it would fit a teen perfecty, and if not, she could go by her full name. I loved Frances for ages, but Fanny is out of question regarding nns, and I don't like Frank or Fran on a girl.
Zachary is also nice, though no a favourite; Zooey is an interesting nn, but it could be easily assumed to be feminine (see Zoe, Zoey).
Well, opinions?

I loved the book. :-)
When I first read it, I thought Franny was masculine and Zooey feminine. JD wanted it that way, I think.
I don't like the names, though. Seymour is the only decent name of the Glass family.
