I've grown enamored of Francisca, which I find statelier than Francesca. I don't know why, but the name evokes for me a long-necked, aloof woman who wears elegantly shapeless dresses. I also love the nickname Cisca. What do you think?

Here are some combos:

Francisca Adeline
Francisca Apolline
Francisca Artemis
Francisca Betony
Francisca Blythe
Francisca Dorothy
Francisca Edeline
Francisca Edith
Francisca Eloise
Francisca Emmeline
Francisca Eveline
Francisca Genevieve
Francisca Honorine
Francisca Judith
Francisca Juliet
Francisca Leonor / Leonore
Francisca Leontine
Francisca Ludivine
Francisca Maud
Francisca Muriel
Francisca Myrtle
Francisca Ottilie
Francisca Ottoline
Francisca Penelope
Francisca Peony
Francisca Raphaëlle
Francisca Rosaline
Francisca Rosamond / Rosamund
Francisca Solveig

My aunt's name is Francisca, she goes by Chica. I'm a fan of both Francisca and Francesca, but I think Francisca rolls off the tongue a bit easier.
I like it better as a middle name however, if I were to use it as a fn I'd be too afraid of the nicknames 'Fran' or 'Franny'.

I like
Francisca Betony
Francisca Edeline
Francisca Ludivine
Francisca Solveig

I really like it. It’s my grandmothers name. She was headstrong, mischievous, a contageous laugh, and she had a great fashion sense.

I like the combos Francisca Jeannette / Francisca Juno / Francisca Elisabeth / Francisca Holly / Francisca Elowen / Francisca Oliviera

I LOVE Francisca Raphaëlle. Probably because of the middle name that it reminds me of the painting “The Smell of Roses” by John William Waterhouse. It has a poetic sound to it.
