HelpRe: Frances
in reply to a message by Morgan
It's okay/dignified, but I wouldn't want it as a name, and I don't enjoy seeing it either.
I don't like it partly because the meaning is a letdown; it seems like naming someone Frenchie or France's.
Beyond that, she sounds like a librarian, which is fine, but the specificity of that makes it feel less wearable to me.
NNs...
Fanny is unfortunate, as you mentioned. Frankie sounds like an immature tomboy. Francie rhymes with fancy, and I imagine a poodle when I hear it. Fran and Frank are okay, but I prefer them as masculine. I definitely agree it doesn't need a NN; it's only two syllables, anyway.
