The Frances I know is just "Frances," and I don't think anyone ever calls her Fran (which, I agree, is much worse than Frances). There are other people like that at my school, who go by their full names when nicknames would be much easier. I know a Robinson, an Alexandra, a Thomas, a Daniel, a Cristina, a Samantha, and a Joanna who all go by their full first names. So I think Fran is avoidable if you don't want her to be called that. Of course, it may just be my school.
