Franziska

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.

Common name in Germany! But I feel like English speaking nations can probably never pronounce it correctly!

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.

I happen to like this name very much. I think it is beautiful without being too "creative" or potentially humiliating for a child to bear.
