I too LOVE this name! I live in Australia, so I don't think I've ever actually met anyone with this name. I like Catherine Francesca, but it will make for a very long name. I prefer it as a mn too. I really like Isabelle Francesca, Celeste Francesca and Chloe Francesca. I think it fits well with the other names you mentioned.

I like Francesca Joy. The name is pretty enough though I don't really like the nns. Aviva, Catarina, Francesca and even Leonard on some level fit, but Alistair looks rather out of place to me. As much as I like it I'd say it's the fish out of water.

You're probably right.Aviva, Catarina, and Francesca all have an off-beat, feminine vibe to them. Alistair is just too stuffy. :-( Leonard would be called Leo, and Leo fits in well.Hmm. I guess I'll probably be using Andreas instead of Alistair.Siri

I absolutely adore the name Francesca and the nn you mentioned. I wanted to name my daughter Maria Francesca and call her Francesca. I think it is more of an Italian name, so I would put different names other that Joy, Catherine, or Elinor with it. I like Ava Francesca, Francesca Rose, or Francesca Maria.
It goes with the other names you mentioned esp Catarina and Aviva.

Catherine Francesca sounds nice.
It matches those names, but I don't think I'd use Catherine with Catarina. I just noticed that.
Francesca Elinor sounds nice too.

I love Ayla Francesca - I got it from someone's post a whille back. I've loved Ayla since I was like 7 and saw the Clan of the Cave Bear, and I seem to have a love for Italian girl names lately. I think it goes nicely with your other names.

I like the name Francesca (but I don't think nicknames should be planned, as you already know - LOL). I like Francesca Catherine and Francesca Eleanor.

I like Catherine Francesca or Francesca Catherine the best. I think Francesca fits best with Catarina, fits well with Aviva, okay with Leonard but no so well with Alistair. Alistair has alwasys sounded stuffy to me while Francesca sounds spontaneous. But it's all subjective, of course.
