I personally like
Mabel the best.
Mabel is both cute and mature. It feels more old-fashioned than
Frances but it also feels fresher than
Frances. I know many women in their 40's, 50's, 60's, and older named
Frances while all the
Mabel's I know of are dead or are 80 years old or older.
Mabel is one of those names that has a sound that I think could have a major comeback and is already having a small comeback that is growing.
I slightly prefer
Francis for a man than
Frances for a woman. Although I don't care for the nn
Frank or any of the
Francis nn's for a boy. I do love most of the
Frances nn's for a girl, I prefer
Frankie for a girl although I still don't like
Frank.
Frances is a fairly nice name but I prefer
Francine which is a little more feminine while having most of the same nn's. Plus I don't care for the nn
Cissy so it's not really a loss.
Odd comment but I just realized that
Frances Mabel could have the nn combo
Fannie Mae. :P A cute but sadly unusable nn.
