I think of Baby from "Dirty Dancing" ;-) I'm not crazy about Frances, but it sounds nice with Abigail.
Missed miscarriage discovered at 16 weeks on 10/11/10. Baby measuring 12 weeks. Natural miscarriage 10/12/10. We will miss you forever.
Chemical pregnancy on June 2012.
A friend is naming her baby girl Frances (she'll be here in a few weeks!). At first I was very against it, but it has really grown on me. Now I kind of think it is cute! I really like it with Abigail, too.
I plan to use it as a MN because my fave grandma was Frances. I also like it for a first name because it's unique w/o being weird. And Frankie is a cute NN
I *love* Frances! It's on our shortlist for any future daughters. I adore the nickname Franny It's nice with Abigail, though I prefer Frances Abigail, personally.
I love it! I am considering using it myself for our DD because my grandpa was a francis and past away from cancer when I was young, I thought it was a good way to honor him with her being the first great grand child.
I like Frances. It was my paternal grandfathers name so I've considered using it before.
I like the nn Francie for it instead of Franny though. Franny or Fran remind me of an old lady. Or no nn at all and just use Frances because it's beautiful & not too long to begin with.
Just remembered you are using it as a middle name, so you probably wouldn't need a nn for it at all. I think it sounds nice with Abagail.

We are planning on using Francis as a middle name if we have a girl... my paternal grandmother's name and my FIL's middle name
I think its classic, and beautiful!
I agree
