It's a bit out of the ordinary for this family. Every generation has used EXACTLY the same names as the one before with no variation until the most recent generations. |

Fanny was an incredibly common name in its own right in the latter 1800s |

I have to agree with the first response, it's usually short for Frances. |

I have a feeling it could be an affectionate name for Ann too. In the past sometimes my dad would call me Fanny Ann. |
