Comments for the name Franziska

I happen to like this name very much. I think it is beautiful without being too "creative" or potentially humiliating for a child to bear.

Pronounced frun-SIS-kah.

Franziska van Almsick is a German swimmer who won her first Olympic medals in 1992 at the Barcelona Olympic Games aged fourteen. In 1993, she was named by Swimming World magazine as the Female World Swimmer of the Year.

My family and I pronounce it FRAN-CHESS-KA.

Franciska is the (full) Croatian form, and is pronounced the same as here: frahn-TSIS-kah.

The same name as my editor. Strangely enough when I look at the name I think of koshka, the Russian word for cat. Still, I love it and it's a very pretty name.
