I've always adored Frances, and although it's no longer one of my absolute favorites, I will always cherish it. As for the nickname issue, I don't think people will repeatedly reduce Frances to Fran or Frannie if you actively enforce use of the name in its unabridged beauty.

Winifred is certifiably one of my favorite names, and I love Hilda and Theodora as well.
