ArchivesRe: Francesca, perhaps? n/t
in reply to a message by Anneza
It would be spelled Cesca in that case (that's indeed a nn for Francesca). I've never seen it in the spellings suggested by the OP (I'm well placed to know since Francesca happens to be my name).

Sure; but since OP gave two possible spellings, I would guess that she had heard the name but not seen it ... and in a world filled to bursting with Makaiylahs and Darseyghs, it doesn't seem like too much of a stretch anyway.
OK, I made those up. I hope!

In Catalan, there is Xesca (nickname of Francesca), pronounced ['ʃɛskə] (SHESS-kuh), and adapted in Spanish as Chesca, pronounced ['tʃeska] (CHAYS-kah).
But, since Fullmetal Alchemist is a manga serie, the name that the OP had heard is possibly a Japanese name (or a pseudoJapanese name, that is a Japanese name adapted to suit Western sounds).
