Francine

Does anyone care for this name? I feel like it's poised to make a comeback, if it hasn't already.

I would consider it myself if it weren't too cutesy to name a child Francine when we're living in France... (And maybe it has only grown on me because I am thinking of it pronounced with a French accent.)

    Aurthers friend on the PBS kids show? HEY!

    Don't hate it, but don't think it will make a huge comeback any time soon. I do hate the NN's that come from it (Fran or Fanny)

    This exactly! Francine is okay on its own, but Fran is a horrendous name.

    But Frannie/Franny is cute. I'm thinking of Salinger's "Franny and Zooey," although Franny wasn't perhaps the sanest character in English literature.

    I like Fran/Frannie, but would go for Francesca over Francine.

    NMS, but I think it does sound better with a French accent.
