It's lovely. So sophisticated, friendly and... don't know, makes me think of someone playful and "forever young". :)

---

Frannie fits well that image, too.

---

You combos aren't bad, but I think Francs needs something not more comfortable - names you use are too big, too pompeous for little Frances. :D

---

I'd try out something like Frances Olivie, Frances Elanor, Frances Penelope, Frances Davida, Frances Amalia, Frances Louisa, Frances Winifred or Frances Veronica.

I adore Frances!

---

Timeless and chic.

---

I love the nicknames Franny, Francy and Fran. This name is on our top 5 list if we ever have another daughter, though my DH seems to slightly prefer Francesca (which is also lovely).

---

I have a couple of clients named Frances- 1 is about 35 and a couple of elderly ladies, as well as a Mary Frances.

---

I'm not much help with combos, b/c we always use family names as middle names, so if we named a daughter Frances, she would be Frances Jill. But here are some I like if I was concerned with honouring-

---

Frances Bethany
Frances Cosima
Frances Dahlia
Frances Jane
Frances Mahala
Frances Miriam
Frances Rosalie

---

I don't care for Frances Anwen Grace (I don't like the repeated "an" -- FrANces ANwen. That's just being nit-picky though)
Frances Eleanor Delilah- love this! Great flow!
Frances Genevieve Leticia- bit of a mouthful, but I like it =) Good flow, maybe better if you switch Genevieve and Leticia around..

---

Just about anything works with Frances as a middle name, methinks!

Frances is a family name for me, and it's one of the few I like. My grandmother's name is Norberta Frances and she goes exclusively by her middle name.

---

I don't like the nicknames. Especially Frannie because it makes me think of the woman in Dawn of the Dead and no one likes her (no one I know at least. She wasn't very bright ;])

---

I have been liking Frances a lot lately, but I don't like Fran or Frannie.

---

Frances Eleanor is a great combo!

I like it, it's the English version of my name. Fran and Frannie are cute, but it's not like it needs a middle name.

---

I like Frances Eleanor or Frances Genevieve. They're way too long with the second mn.

I love Frances, bot don't care for the nicknames Fran and Frannie.

---

I love it equally well as a first and middle name, although I use it as a middle name in most combos. (That said, I think the name is underused and underappreciated as a first name.)

---

I dont know anyone named Frances.

---

These are all of the Frances combos on my long list...

---

I like the name Frances. It's quite rare but not too unheard of. I'd use Frankie as a nickname. I know one Frances but as far as I know, she doesn't have a nickname.

I like Frances, but hate all the nicknames for it, so I'd never use it for my child, but great for someone else.

---

I prefer one middle name. How about these:

---

Frances Delilah
Frances Julia
Frances Sofia
Frances Maria
Frances Josephine
Frances Olivia

I really like Francesca, Frances as a nn.

---

nn for Frances:
France, Frankie, Fran.

---

Frances Isobella Beatrice
Frances Evelyn Rose
Frances Emily Jane

Frances is one of my absolute favorite names. ♥

---

I love it! It's actually my dog's name and we call her Fran, Frannie, or Francie a lot. It's adorable

I like Frances but prefer it in the middle spot where it goes with pretty much anything. I had a friend in high school with the name and even though the male form is Francis almost every teacher we had would be suprised that she was not a male. She didn't go by any nickname although people would call her Fran sometimes.

I love it! I dislike all the nns I've ever heard for it though. I prefer it as a first name or the second half of a double name.

---

My step-great-grandmother was Frances-Anne and I have a friend Mary Frances, but I don't know anyone who is just Frances.

I love Frances, one of my top favorites. I love the nickname Francie, like the main character little girl from "A Tree Grows in Brooklyn". Frannie is ok too, but I love the sweetness and the frilliness of Francie. I prefer it as a first name, though it's great as a middle name. I know two people named Frances. A five year old and a 30 year old. The one my age goes by Frances and sometimes France. The 5 year old is Frances Isabelle and goes by Francie and Francie-Bell.
Frances Eleanor Delilah is adorable.
