My name is Frances, and I get Franny, Fran, Frankie, Franners and my boyfriend sometimes calls me Cess, which I quite like! It's an easy name to grow up with and while not very common at all (at least where I live, apart from when used as a middle name), it's still familiar and easy to spell. I've always loved my name and I'd love to see it used more. Francesca is lovely too, and it's starting to become more popular. I don't know about the nickname Fannie / Fanny... especially in Australia where the slang meaning is different to the U.S. I much prefer Franny to Fanny.
