Christi and variations were really common in Australia at that point, so I think I wanted something different!

I went by Fanny (pronounced the French way, also I didn’t grow up in the anglosphere) as a tween/teen, though it’s a nickname I used in school exclusively to distinguish myself from the three other girls with my name). I dropped it later on, and never asked my parents or family to use it (they suggested it because apparently there’s a Francesca up my family tree who went by Fanny) though some of my friends from middle school plus a few people who know me through them still call me that.
