This is sort of my name. Not legally, but I call myself that, and a few people in my life have started calling me that too. Thankfully, even though I live in the US, people can usually pronounce it right. The only issue is they usually think it’s Francisca or Francesca until they’ve seen it on paper.
The same name as my editor. Strangely enough when I look at the name I think of koshka, the Russian word for cat. Still, I love it and it's a very pretty name.
