Much better than Frances IMO.

Rani (pronounced Rahnee) or Chessie/Cheska.

I am in love with the nickname franacedadeffaxdxdad csa

Many comments are curious about nickname possiblities beyond Frankie, here are some ideas: Chess, Chessa, Chesca, Frannie, Chessie, Fran, Francie

I love Francesca. What other nn are there other than Frankie?

I LOVE this name but my mom hates it.

Cute, spunky, girly name

Such a beautiful name

I love nickname Cheska

I love this name so much, and Frankie, Fran or Chesca. I also adore Frances, Francine and Francina.

This is going to be my niece name and I want a nice nickname for her since I don't like "Franky"

I like Francine so much more! Although Francesca is nice too.

Don't cry, I love your name!

I love how this name has such a variety of nicknames, and the full name isn't a mouthful. It's so perfect!

I like Francesca! But not Frankie- that's way too boyish for me. I prefer Fran or Frances.

😢😢

ultimately I love other names more but this is beautiful

Francesca is beautiful, I even love Franny, Fran, Francie..

Hazel Francesca makes a good combo. I like it!

I love Francesca- it sounds and looks very lively and spunky. Also it's a classic name that everyone knows and has heard of, but it isn't too common. I'd use it as a middle name; Hazel Francesca is one of my favorite combos for a girl. As a nickname, I think Frankie is adorable, though I think Francesca should be left in its full form if possible- it's just so pretty!

It's not my favorite name but it's OK.

This name is too frilly...it's almost sickly...I'm sorry.

LOL...cute!

My daughter is going to name her daughter Francesca Bianca ... Bianca after my mother's middle name and due on my mother's birthday April 4th. Francis is my father's middle name but this was unintentional ... It is special for me since both of my parents have passed on. My sister said Francesca is too long so she's going to call her Francy pants...Love it! So I think this grandma will call her new granddaughter "Francy Pants". She will join her 2 year old brother, Ricardo! :-) Feeling Blessed this New Year Day!!!

Such a gorgeous name : )

If you don't want "Frankie" to be a nickname there's always Francia! 😍

Francesca & Franci are two names I've always loved...when I was a kid I desperately wanted a Franci doll.

such a beautiful name, I love the nicknames Frankie and Chessie :)

I am in love with the nickname Frankie!

When I was a kid I thought this was Franjessica hahahaha.

My favorite nickname for Francesca is Francie, which is Grace Kelly's character in To Catch a Thief. The name Francesca is beautiful in itself! Very stylish and classy.

Beautiful.
