I don't like it, sounds too muscular and old fashioned. How can you go from a beautiful middle name like Rose (don't like Winnie either) to Cole for girls.

I like Frances, nn Franny (prefer Frannie). Franny and Winnie sound cute together. I just wish Winnie was short for Winifred or something (the compulsive in me says that).

Not my style at all, but wow...Winnie and Franny are adorable!

I love Frances and little sisters called Fanny and Winnie makes me ridiculously happy.

Adorable! If only Winnie were short for Winifred.

I love it. I much prefer just Fran as the nn though.:0)

I guess I'll be the first to say I dislike it. Franny is so.... Ugh, just ugly. I'd be happier if they just called her Frances in full- I mean it's not like Franny shortens it at all. I wasn't sold on Winnie either but it at least has a smidgen of "cuteness" to it. Winifred "Winnie" would have been better but at least it's not "Franny" ::shudder:: Franny sounds like the name you'd give a pet in irony. And Cole, unless it has some of significance, is just dumbly unisex next to Frances.

A refreshingly solid choice. I'm glad they haven't gone with Frankie as a nn.
Would have preferred Winifred Rose nn Winnie - don't like nicknamey names instead of the full name, which conveys the full etymology and meaning.

Those are very nice choices, good for them.

I like it. Mm-hm.

Not sure I like the double F names... Frances Fallon seems like a mouthful! But I do like Frances "Franny". It's refreshing to see a celeb use such down-to-earth names and not try to be super edgy. Although I know "old" names are back in vogue, these are still pretty conservative, classic choices! Cole makes the combo a bit too unisex for my taste, since it's easy to confuse Frances and Francis. But I don't dislike it.Winnie Rose is darling too. I couldn't tell from a quick search if it's short for Winifred -- anyone know?

I remember when Winnie was born and it's just Winnie, not Winifred.
