Nickname for Franziska? vs. Help!!!

My dh’s grandmother was German, and her name was Franziska. In her will, she asked that the first two baby girls in two different families be named Franziska. We are the second family to be having a girl, but I HATE THE NAME WITH A PASSION!!!! Her name will be Franziska Claire. We need to call her by her first name, so does anyone have a good nickname? It’s pronounced something like fran-TZIS-ka (I’m not really sure, we haven’t really gotten used to it yet!) The other Franziska is Frankie, which we like, but obviously can’t use.Please help!!! Marissa, Dave, Maria (9), Nathan (7), Penny (3) Livia (3) and Molly (1)

If you dislike the name that much then I wouldn’t use it. Or use it as a middle name. It’s nice to honor someone wishes but it’s not ways possible.

Name her something else, or name her Francesca. It’s not right to expect someone to do that. If you go through with it, you could call her Izzy. GL

Why don’t you ask your hubby about the pronounciation. Since it is his grandmothers name, he should know. Also, this does not look like your first baby girl..... not sure why you would have to use it if she asked for the first two girls to use it.

Thanks guys, but honestly, I want to name my daughter after her, because she was a wonderful woman. I have other reasons as well. I just wish her mom had named her something else :). And the request is for the first two girls born after she died. Sorry if it wasn’t clear. But I appreciate the responses, and if you could vote on my second poll, that would be great.
Thanks

You don’t have to do what your grandmother tells you to do. Why would you name your baby a name you HATE?
