It def would in artsy/literary circles where they’re all called diminutive names like [name_f]Flossie[/name_f] & [name_m]Freddie[/name_m] etc! And it is the age of those tuen of century names. But I see the concern as it’s quite earnest and retro. I just love the name! [name_f]Chessie[/name_f] is cute too.
[name_f][/name_f]I know two Francescas, one called [name_m]Chess[/name_m] as a kid who has since changed her nn to [name_f]Chessie[/name_f], and one called [name_f]Fran[/name_f] until her 30s, who (finding [name_f]Fran[/name_f] dowdy and tired) started going by/ asking us to call her, [name_f]Frankie[/name_f]. I’m not a fan of [name_f]Frankie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- find it in no way appealing [name_f][/name_f]- but I get why she broke from [name_f]Fran[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- and my point actually being (lol) that two adult Francescas have gone for -ie nicknames! You’ve got a number of options with [name_f]Francesca[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]Also while I’m here, I know someone (English) called [name_f]Peach[/name_f] for [name_f]Phoebe[/name_f] [name_f]Jane[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- went from PJ to Peej to [name_f]Peach[/name_f] by her family and stuck! I really like [name_f]Peach[/name_f] & [name_f]Peaches[/name_f] as nicknames.
