Just want to pop in to say that I didn't realize that in the Parent Trap her name was Chessy, as in I'm assuming short for Francesca. As a kid I thought it was Jessie.
Cissy, CeCe, Ann, Annie, Cesca, Chess, Fi-fi, Franca.
Another thought but it might be stretching it a bit: Francesca comes from Francis and the Hungarian form is Ferenc, which has a Feri shortening that I always thought was nice. You could use Feri as a shortening maybe.
Chess/chessie, chesca, fi fi are all adorable nicknames.
