Re: I the name Fanny short for another name. Â« Reply #5 on: Tuesday 12 August 08 15:36 BST (UK) Â». I have a gg grandmother whose birth was registered as Fanny, but in all census, marriage & death certs she is Frances.
The lyrics of the second verse to Jingle Bells is a small reminder of how prevalent and, well, normal the name Fanny used to be. I was reminded of this sweet little nickname (that took an interesting turn) while singing the song with my 9-month-old, and I just had to do a little research. Of course.
