    • Origin:

      Diminutive of Frances, English from Latin
    • Meaning:

      "from France; free man"
    • Description:

      Francie is one of the most neglected nicknames for Frances, despite having more style value than Franny and Fanny and being more unique than Frankie. We'd love to see it get more use, whether as a Frances short form or as an independent name.
  3. Carole

      • Origin:

        Short form of Gertrude
      • Description:

        Gertie has a certain homespun charm, summoning to mind butter-yellow braids and denim overalls, summoning mind the adorable character played by little Drew Barrymore in E.T. Is the world ready for the return of Gertie and Gertrude? Maybe?

      • Origin:

        Invented nickname
      • Description:

        Up-and-coming actress Beanie Feldstein is attracting attention toward her unusual — but rather cute — nickname. She was born Elizabeth Greer Feldstein but nicknamed "Elizabeanie" by her childhood nanny. It was later simplified to Beanie by her older brothers.

            • Origin:

              Occitan
            • Meaning:

            • Description:

              Esclarmonde de Foix was an Occitan countess and an important figure in Catharism, a medieval Christian movement, which allowed women and men to both hold church offices. Her tale inspired an opera by the same name by Jules Massenet; the name is also featured in Kate Mosse's bestselling novel Labyrinth.
          • Romane
            • Origin:

              French
            • Meaning:

              "a Roman"
            • Description:

              The feminine version of the newly-stylish Roman -- and the longer form of the also-newly-stylish Romy -- would make a girls' choice that achieves that near-impossible balance of being both original and fashionable. This variation is far superior to Romaine, which is too lettuce-y.
          • Indre
            • Origin:

              French or Sanskrit
            • Meaning:

              "cave; possessing drops of rain"
            • Description:

              The Indre is a river in France. Spelled Indra, it's the name of a powerful deity worshipped by Hindus, Buddhists, and Jains — roughly the South Asian equivalent of the Greek Zeus or Norse Odin. But either Indra or Indre might make a simple, captivating, attractive name for a modern little girl.
          • Ayse
            • Lucile
              • Origin:

                Spelling variation of Lucille
              • Meaning:

                "light"
              • Description:

                Lucille and its alternate spelling Lucile are both popular in France, but in the US, Lucy rules with the more-antiquated sounding Lucille a distant second. Lucile fell off the Top 1000 more than 60 years ago and it's hard to imagine what might make this spelling preferable to the original. As with Jenifer, subtracting that letter doesn't add anything.
            • Ngaire
              • Origin:

                Maori
              • Meaning:

                "flax flower"
              • Description:

                This name is common in New Zealand and Australia, with famous bearers including TV producer Ngaire Fuata and academic and author Ngaire Woods. It is pronounced ng (like the end of sing) -EYE-ree.
            • Mariette
              • Origin:

                French diminutive of Marie
              • Meaning:

                "drop of the sea, bitter, or beloved"
              • Description:

                A less-popular alternative to Juliette, perhaps – although it feels rather more dated.
            • Haidee
              • Origin:

                English
              • Meaning:

                "modest"
              • Description:

                Sounds like a variant of Heidi or Hailey, but Haidee is actually a separate name with a literary history, used in Byron's epic poem Don Juan.
